Overview

Referent is an AI-powered practice management platform for law firms.

It uses legal AI agents to help teams manage client intake, follow-ups, matters, tasks, communication, and operational workflows in one place. Instead of working as a standalone chatbot, Referent is designed around the daily operations of a legal practice, helping firms organize next steps, reduce repetitive administrative work, and keep matter-related information easier to manage.

Referent helps legal teams coordinate work across clients, matters, emails, calendars, documents, and tasks. AI agents can prepare routine operational actions, while lawyers and authorized team members remain responsible for reviewing and approving important decisions.

Referent is built for solo lawyers, boutique law firms, and growing legal teams that want to save time, improve client follow-up, and run their practice with clearer workflows.
