Employment Law: Qualify faster. Sign better cases.

Employment law leads often do not have a case — or do but do not know it. GavelGrow intake flows pre-qualify leads on statute-of-limitations, damages, and evidence before they take up attorney time.

Common challenges for employment law firms

Every consultation is a qualification call

Attorneys spend 30 minutes finding out a lead is outside SOL or has no real damages. That is time that should be spent on cases that will actually sign.

Weak cases clog the pipeline

Without upfront qualification, your pipeline fills with cases that will not retain. Your signed-rate looks bad even when your case-quality rate is good.

Statute of limitations pressure

Employment discrimination has tight SOLs. A lead who calls 2 days before the deadline needs to be triaged instantly — not added to tomorrow callback list.

What GavelGrow does for employment law firms

Pre-qualification intake

Intake asks about incident date, employer size, evidence, prior EEOC filings. Leads outside SOL or clearly below damages threshold get an auto-response and are not routed to attorneys.

SOL countdown flags

Every qualified lead shows days-remaining until statute-of-limitations. Urgent flags prioritize same-day callbacks for leads within 30 days of deadline.

Case-type segmentation

Wrongful termination, discrimination, wage-and-hour, and retaliation each get their own intake template and routing rules. Track ROI per case type.

Referral-ready lead routing

Leads outside your practice area (or in a venue you do not cover) can be referred out with one click. Track referral-out revenue separately.

Frequently asked questions

How does pre-qualification work?

Intake forms ask about incident date, employer size, type of claim, and evidence. Logic rules route the lead: clear case → attorney callback in 10 min, marginal case → paralegal review, non-viable → polite auto-response + referral resource list.

Can you handle class action intake?

Yes. Separate intake flows for class action plaintiffs include employer name, approximate class size, and witness availability. Dashboard segments class actions from individual matters for separate case-pipeline views.

Does this integrate with EEOC / agency filings?

Not directly — EEOC filings remain manual. But all intake data flows into the case record, making it easy for paralegals to copy into EEOC charge forms. Direct EEOC API integration is on the product roadmap.

Can we track contingent fee expected value?

Yes. Each case can carry an expected settlement value. Dashboard shows expected portfolio value, weighted probability of success (manually set), and realized value from closed matters. ROI calculations use realized values.
