A week inside an Irish solicitors' firm using Lexicore
A mid-sized general practice firm — six fee-earners, two support staff, personal injury and conveyancing as its core practice areas — walked us through a typical week after six months on the platform.
How to read this page: presented anonymously at the firm's request. Details are representative of how firms of this size and mix typically use the platform, rather than a verbatim, audited transcript of one firm's data — we'd rather be upfront about that than dress up generic claims as a named testimonial.
General practice, Munster — six fee-earners
A well-established firm with a caseload split roughly evenly between personal injury and conveyancing, with a smaller probate and family law practice. Before Lexicore, one part-time staff member spent close to two days a week on document admin: opening post, matching it to files, and chasing checklist items across roughly 140 open matters.
The firm was already using myclients365 for case management and wanted something that worked with it — not a second system for staff to check.

What actually happened when the post arrived
Overnight and first-post scans across three staff folders were OCR'd and matched against the client list automatically.
Each showed a preview, a suggested client and file, and a plain-English summary. Three needed a manual search — two were from a new client not yet on file, one was a misread reference number.
The checklist had been tracking the file since it opened; the gap was surfaced before it became a deadline problem, not after.
"What did the engineer's report say about the road surface?" — answered in seconds with a citation to the specific page, instead of a re-read of a 60-page report.
Drafted immediately after a client call, in the firm's usual structure and tone, ready for the solicitor to review and finalise rather than write from a blank page.
Returned two "Concern" flags — an outstanding requisition reply and a BER certificate not yet on file — both caught two days before the scheduled closing date.
Less time hunting for documents, more time on the matter itself
Post filing, same-day
Incoming post that used to sit in a physical tray for a day or two is filed to the right client within minutes of the scan landing — reviewed, not re-typed.
Checklist gaps caught earlier
Missing documents surface as soon as a file falls out of step with what a complete matter of that type should contain, rather than at the point they're needed.
Fewer re-reads of long files
Fee-earners ask the case a question instead of re-reading a file end to end to find one detail — with the source cited every time.
