**Legal Chatbots and Client Engagement**

Legal Chatbots, unlike human legal professionals, can provide 24/7 support to clients. Chatbots can raise client satisfaction and help clients feel connected to their lawyers.[19] Legal chatbots can handle routine client inquiries, and automate a number of client-facing interactions, freeing up lawyers and paralegals from the burden of administrative work.[20]

> _"It's ironic that the use of a chatbot can make clients feel "connected" to their legal advisers. This is a great area of potential for lawyers to leverage AI to help support their clients whilst not being on call 24/7. The use of chatbots should help lawyers switch off and potentially could lead to a better work-life balance."_
