AI-native practice management software that runs law firm operations with lawyer approval
Data verified Sep 19, 2026
About Referent
Referent is an AI-native practice management platform for law firms that uses specialized AI agents to handle operational work such as client intake, matter management, email filing, document drafting, deadline tracking, billing, and follow-ups. It connects to a lawyer's inbox and Google Workspace to organize emails, files, and deadlines into the correct client matters, while keeping a human-in-the-loop approval step so nothing is sent, filed, or billed without the lawyer's sign-off. Every action is logged and auditable, and it is aimed at solo lawyers, boutique firms, and larger practice groups.
