Automated Retainer Signing for a Personal Injury Firm

A personal injury firm was looking for a faster way to move qualified clients from intake to signed representation agreements. Manual document preparation, email follow-ups, and waiting for clients to return signed retainers were creating unnecessary delays in the onboarding process.

Barqsol designed an automated workflow that connects the firm’s AI intake process with DocuSign, allowing qualified clients to receive and electronically sign their retainer agreements with minimal staff involvement

Once a potential client was qualified, the firm still relied on manual steps to move the case forward:

• Staff had to prepare and send retainer agreements.
• Clients could take hours or days to return signed documents.
• Intake teams had to follow up with clients who had not signed.
• Delays created friction between lead qualification and case onboarding.
• Staff spent time managing administrative tasks instead of focusing on clients.

For a PI firm, every unnecessary step can slow down the path from potential client → signed retainer.

Barqsol built an automated retainer-signing workflow that triggers after a lead meets the firm’s qualification criteria.

1. AI Intake

The AI agent handles the initial conversation, collects essential case information, and identifies whether the lead meets the firm’s intake requirements.

2. Lead Qualification

The collected information is evaluated against the firm’s predefined qualification workflow.

3. Retainer Trigger

When a lead is ready to move forward, the system triggers the retainer-signing workflow.

4. DocuSign Delivery

The appropriate retainer agreement is automatically prepared and sent to the client through DocuSign for electronic signature.

5. Client Signs Digitally

The client can review and sign the agreement electronically without printing, scanning, or manually returning paperwork.

6. Status Tracking

The workflow tracks the signing status and can notify the firm’s team when the agreement has been completed or requires follow-up.

AI Intake → Qualification → Retainer Generated → DocuSign → Electronic Signature → Team Notification

This creates a smoother transition between lead acquisition, intake, and client onboarding.
