What is an Intake Specialist?
A busy law firm relies on its intake specialist. These professionals specialize in managing client inquiries, determining the client’s legal needs, and collecting the information the firm needs. Intake specialists, or intake coordinators, are clients’ first impressions of a law firm; these frontline personnel can help build rapport and trust with potential clients. A well-run intake specialist can also differentiate the law firm from the competition. An intake specialist keeps communication running smoothly between the client and the legal team.
