Law Firms Are Losing £1.34M Annually to Poor Enquiry Handling

Every missed or delayed enquiry is lost revenue. I help solicitors and law firms automate enquiry response so you never lose another client to slow follow-up.

Based on firms receiving 100 enquiries per month with poor enquiry handling

The £1.34M Problem Every Law Firm Faces

A potential client needs help with a property conveyance. They fill out your enquiry form on Monday morning. You're in court all day, then catching up on case files. By Wednesday when you finally respond, they've already instructed another firm who replied the same day.

This happens more often than you realise. According to the 2025 Professional Services Client Journey Report by insight6, law firms scoring below 80% on enquiry handling are 30% less likely to convert opportunities.

For a typical law firm handling 100 enquiries per month, this costs £1.34M annually in lost revenue. That's based on an average client value of £4,000 and 30 missed opportunities per month due to poor enquiry handling.

Can your firm afford to lose over £1.3 million every year simply because enquiries sit unanswered whilst you're doing billable work?
