Free resource · For solicitors

The AI prompt pack for solicitors.
Written to be run privately.

Twenty ready-to-use prompts for the everyday drafting and admin a solicitor does: client updates, attendance notes, chronologies, complaint acknowledgements, costs explanations. They are written to be run inside Hush, where nothing you type is stored or used to train a model, so you can use them on real matters rather than redacting first. Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own detail.

One rule before you start: the AI drafts, you decide. Read and check every output before you use it, and never rely on it for the law itself. A generative model can invent cases and citations that look real, which is exactly how solicitors have ended up referred to their regulator. Use these for drafting, structuring and admin, and verify every fact, figure and citation against the primary source yourself.

Client communication

Plain-English update

"Draft a short, warm update to my client [name] on their [matter type] matter. Explain in plain English that [what has happened], what happens next, and that I will be in touch again by [date]. Keep it under 200 words, no legal jargon, reassuring but honest."

Explain a process simply

"Explain the [conveyancing / probate / employment claim] process to a client who has never done it before, in plain English, as a short numbered list of stages with a one-line description of each. Avoid jargon; where a legal term is unavoidable, define it in brackets."

Chase politely

"Draft a polite, friendly reminder to a client who has not yet returned [the signed form / the requested documents / their ID]. Make it easy for them to act, give a clear deadline of [date], and offer to help if anything is unclear. Keep it short."

Acknowledge a complaint

"Draft a calm, professional acknowledgement of a client complaint about [summary]. Do not admit or deny anything. Confirm we take it seriously, set out that we will investigate and respond substantively by [date], and give the client our complaints-procedure contact. Neutral tone."

Explain costs clearly

"Turn these fee details into a clear, plain-English costs explanation for a client: [paste the figures and basis]. Set out what is included, what is not, and any likely disbursements, as a short list. Do not give advice, just present it clearly for the client to understand."

Drafting and document work

Summarise a long document

"Summarise the key points of the document below for a busy fee-earner: the parties, the purpose, the main obligations on each side, any deadlines or dates, and anything unusual or risky that a solicitor should look at closely. Bullet points, and flag anything you are unsure about. [paste document]"

Notes into an attendance note

"Turn these rough notes into a structured attendance note: date, attendees, matter, what was discussed, decisions made, and action points with owners. Keep my wording where it matters; do not invent anything not in the notes. [paste notes]"

First draft of a letter

"Write a first-draft letter from me to [recipient] about [purpose]. Tone: [firm but professional / conciliatory]. Cover [the points]. Leave clearly marked [PLACEHOLDERS] for any fact I need to confirm, and do not state any legal position as settled; I will review and finalise."

Plain-English translation of a clause

"Explain what this clause means in plain English for a client, and note in one line what practical effect it has on them. Do not advise, just explain. [paste clause]"

Tighten my draft

"Here is my draft. Keep my meaning and my legal points exactly, but tighten the prose, remove repetition, and make it clearer and more direct. Show me the tightened version only. [paste draft]"

Matter management

Build a chronology

"From the notes and documents below, build a dated chronology of events in a simple table: date, event, source. List only what is actually stated; mark anything uncertain. [paste]"

Issues list

"From this matter summary, list the legal and practical issues that will need to be addressed, grouped by theme, so I can plan the work. Do not resolve them, just identify them clearly. [paste summary]"

Next-steps and task list

"Turn this matter update into a clear next-steps list with suggested owners and rough deadlines, so I can delegate. Flag anything that looks time-critical. [paste update]"

Devil's advocate

"Argue the other side. Here is my client's position: [summary]. Set out the strongest points the opponent could make against it, so I can prepare for them. Do not soften them."

Research framing (structure only, never the answer)

Frame the questions

"I am researching [topic] for a matter. Do not answer it. Instead, list the specific legal questions I should be researching, and for each one, the kind of primary source I should check (statute, case law, regulator guidance). I will do the research and verify everything myself."

Turn research into a client-ready note

"I have done the legal research and confirmed the sources below are correct. Turn my verified notes into a clear, plain-English note for the client explaining the position and the practical options. Use only what I have given you; do not add any law. [paste verified notes]"

Practice and admin

Internal file note

"Draft a short internal file note recording [decision / advice given / instruction received] on the [matter], with the date and the reason, so the file reflects it clearly."

Meeting agenda

"Draft an agenda for a [client / team] meeting about [subject], with timings, the decisions we need to reach, and what to prepare in advance."

Policy or process outline

"Draft a first outline of an internal [supervision / file-review / AI-use] policy for a small firm, as headings and short bullet points for me to review and adapt. Flag where I will need to insert our own specifics."

Explain a service for the website

"Write a clear, plain-English explanation of our [service area] for our website, aimed at a worried first-time client. Warm and reassuring, no jargon, about 150 words, ending with a gentle invitation to get in touch. No guarantees or outcome promises."

Run them where no conversation or document is kept.

These are drafting and admin aids, not legal advice, and the outputs are only as good as your review of them. Run them in Hush and no conversation or document is saved to our servers or used to train a model; what you type is processed on hardware we own in the UK, then gone. Two-week free trial, no card.
