AI Lawyer and AI Drafting

VYROX Wiki · Updated 23 September 2026 · https://www.vyrox.com/wiki/lawserva-ai-lawyer

AI Lawyer in LawServa is an assistant that answers questions from your firm's own records, under your own permissions, and drafts notes, letters, time entries and diary entries for you to check. It never writes a record by itself: a person presses the button, and the saved field is permanently flagged as machine drafted. It is used by fee earners, clerks and partners who want quick answers about their files.

Before You Start

The subscription owner decides for each firm whether AI reads that practice's files at all, in the Firm Owner Console under AI Lawyers (see Firm Management, Staff and Access). If the Ask AI Lawyer button does not appear, AI is switched off for your firm or you do not have access. Each drafting kind also needs the permission of the record it would create.

Important

AI Lawyer does not give legal advice. Every answer carries a Not Checked by a Lawyer mark. Read it, check it against the file, and take responsibility for anything you use.

Asking a Question

  1. Press Ask AI Lawyer at the bottom of any firm screen, or from a matter record.
  2. Type your question, for example "What is due in the next 14 days?" or "Which clients have incomplete CDD?".
  3. Read the answer. It lists the findings with the records they rest on.
  4. Use Copy, Use It, Ask Follow-Up or Dismiss under the answer.

AI Lawyer only reads. It can look up matters, clients, deadlines, fees, unbilled work, CDD, client money, documents, letters, undertakings, approvals, your own time, the risk radar, safe custody and how-to guides for LawServa. It never shows a file you are walled off from. Earlier conversations are under Conversations.

For You Today

When you open AI Lawyer, For You Today shows what it has noticed before you ask: client ledgers in debit or overdue for reconciliation, your overdue and imminent dates, files waiting for your approval, undertakings you gave, enquiries gone quiet, post waiting to be filed, aged unbilled work and answers waiting for review. Each has a one-press question and a link to the screen.

Drafts

Choose Drafts under Files.

  1. Press New Draft. The Ask for a Draft form opens.
  2. Choose the kind: Attendance Note, Letter, Time Entry, Diary Entry, Document, or Matter Details From a Document.
  3. Give your rough notes, or use Or Attach a Document to Read.
  4. Press Draft It.
  5. Read the draft. Press File Draft to save it to the matter, or Discard.

AI Lawyer Import

In Ask AI Lawyer, the + menu offers Take Photo (up to 10 pages as one document) and Upload File (PDF, Word or photographs).

  1. Attach the document.
  2. AI Lawyer shows an Import Card: what kind of document it is, the fields it read with the words they came from, a Check This flag where it was unsure, and matching clients and files already on your records.
  3. Press Review and Create. The firm's own form opens, filled in: New Matter, a Quotation, a Court Date, File to Matter, a New Enquiry or a Record Receipt.
  4. Check every field and save.

Discarding an import keeps a record of it rather than deleting it. A receipt imported this way is recorded as an office account disbursement and never touches client money.

Other AI Buttons

Across LawServa you will find AI buttons that read a MyKad, passport or SSM certificate to prefill CDD, summarise a document, suggest intake questions, propose chronology facts where the date is written in the text, and draft invoice and time narratives.

Assistant Supervision

Every AI answer is queued for an advocate and solicitor to review under Assistant Supervision in Firm Management, and marked sound, corrected or unsafe with Record Review. Standing instructions for the assistant are kept on the same screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI Lawyer Change My Records?

No. It only reads. A record is written only when a person presses the button to save it.

Can AI Lawyer See Files I Am Not Allowed to See?

No. It works under your own permissions and respects matter walls.

Is There a Limit on AI Use?

Yes. AI actions have an hourly allowance per firm, and every AI read and save is written to the audit trail.

Can AI Run on Our Own Server?

LawServa supports running the AI models on a machine in the firm's own office. Ask VYROX about this option.
