The week of paralegal time you would have spent on email
Your firm books 4 depositions in 2 different cities over the next 3 weeks. The Vendor Coordination agent emails 4 court reporters, secures bookings, confirms the AV setup, sends the deposition notices, follows up on the rough transcripts within 48 hours of each session, and reconciles the invoices against the matter cost ledger. Your paralegal supervises the queue in 15 minutes a day instead of spending 8 hours across the 3 weeks on email back-and-forth.

Practice-area fit
Every engagement tunes the agent to your firm's specific matter mix. The areas below are where we've seen this agent fit most naturally.
Function
Safety posture
The agent communicates with vendors under the firm's email identity and within authority limits set during Build (booking values, scheduling windows, escalation triggers). For decisions outside those limits (a deposition reschedule with material cost, an expert witness substitution), the agent escalates to the responsible attorney rather than acting.
Frequently Asked Questions
For vendors that work through phone or portal-only flows, the agent surfaces the action item to the paralegal for handoff rather than attempting to operate the channel itself. The paralegal handles the call; the agent tracks the outcome.
