The AI receptionist for
Montreal law firms.
A prospective client calling your firm has already made a hard decision. Anova answers with the composure of a senior legal secretary, in English or Quebec French, gathers the matter and the urgency, screens by practice area, and books the consultation with the right lawyer — confidentially, around the clock.
The first call is the file.
When someone calls a law firm, they are rarely calling out of curiosity. They have lost a job, ended a marriage, been served, signed an offer, or had a hard conversation with family. By the time they pick up the phone, they have already decided they need a lawyer — and the tone of the first thirty seconds tells them whether yours is the firm to trust with it. A voicemail greeting at 6 p.m., a hold queue, or a rushed receptionist sends that caller straight to the next name in the search results.
Anova closes that gap. Your agent answers on the first ring, in the caller's language, with the measured, discreet composure a legal practice demands — never hurried, never robotic, never asking the client to repeat the worst day of their year.
Intake, qualify, and book — with discretion.
Takes the intake
Gathers the caller's name and contact details, the matter type, and the urgency with the calm formality of an experienced legal secretary — capturing a clean, structured intake summary your lawyers can act on without a follow-up call.
Screens by practice area
Qualifies each caller against the practice areas your firm takes — family, real estate, immigration, civil litigation, corporate, criminal — and routes to the right lawyer. Configurable conflict-check logic flags potential conflicts before anything is confirmed.
Books the consultation
Checks the live calendar of the relevant lawyer and books the consultation during the call, with confirmation to the caller and the full intake logged to your system — so the lawyer walks into the meeting already briefed.
Confidential & compliant
Handles every conversation with discretion and is configured for PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64) data-handling obligations — controlled collection, secure storage, and clear records, in English or Quebec French.
A receptionist who never breaks privilege.
Solo practitioners and small firms carry the front desk and the docket at once. A partner in a hearing cannot answer a new-client call; an associate drafting cannot stop to take an intake. Anova works exactly those moments — court days, deposition afternoons, the evening and weekend hours when most distressed callers reach out — capturing every matter, screening it, and booking it, so nothing urgent slips and no qualified client is lost to a missed ring.
And because the intake arrives structured and conflict-flagged, your lawyers spend their billable hours on legal work, not on triaging voicemails. When a high-value matter calls — the commercial dispute, the time-sensitive immigration deadline — the agent can transfer it to the right person live, with the context already loaded.
Legal intake, answered.
Can it screen by practice area?
Yes — it identifies the matter type up front and qualifies against the practice areas your firm takes, routing only relevant intake to your lawyers and declining or noting the rest.
Does it book consultations?
Yes — it checks the right lawyer's live calendar and books the consultation during the call, then logs the full intake summary to your system.
Is intake confidential and compliant?
Yes — handled with discretion and configured for PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25, with configurable conflict-check logic before anything is confirmed.
English and French?
Both, natively, in Quebec French and English — so every Montreal client is met in their own language from the first word.
