AI-Powered Paralegal for Employment Law Firms

The Complexity of Employment Law Practice

Employment cases involve overlapping federal and state claims, tight administrative filing deadlines, and voluminous discovery that often includes years of payroll data, email correspondence, and HR records. Whether you handle single-plaintiff discrimination claims or multi-party wage and hour class actions, the administrative demands are relentless.

• EEOC charge filing deadlines — 180 or 300 days depending on jurisdiction and state agency deferral
• Calculating unpaid wages, overtime, and damages under FLSA and state wage laws
• Reviewing years of employment records, emails, and HR documentation during discovery
• Tracking administrative exhaustion requirements before federal claims can proceed
• Managing class certification motions and collective action opt-in processes
• Advising employer clients on handbook policies, termination procedures, and accommodation requests

How Lexi AI Supports Employment Law Workflows

Case Evaluation and Client Intake

When a potential client calls about workplace discrimination or unpaid wages, Lexi's automated intake captures the essential facts — employer name, dates of employment, nature of the claim, protected class, adverse action taken, and any prior complaints to HR or government agencies. Lexi also checks whether the EEOC filing deadline has passed based on the discriminatory act date and jurisdiction, flagging time-sensitive cases for immediate attorney review.

Damages Calculation and Wage Analysis

For wage and hour cases, Lexi analyzes payroll records to calculate unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest break premiums, and minimum wage shortfalls. It applies the correct federal and state calculation methodologies, factors in liquidated damages, and generates damage summaries that can support demand letters or mediation statements. For discrimination cases, it helps quantify back pay and front pay damages using the client's employment history.

Discovery Review and Document Management

Employment litigation discovery often includes thousands of emails, performance reviews, disciplinary records, and internal communications. Lexi accelerates document review by identifying relevant communications, flagging key dates and actors, and creating chronological timelines of events. Ask Lexi to find every email mentioning a specific employee or pull all documents related to a termination decision — results are delivered in your Teams channel in minutes.

Filing Deadline and Administrative Tracking

Employment claims require administrative exhaustion before litigation can begin. Lexi's deadline tracking monitors EEOC charge filing windows, right-to-sue letter expiration dates, state agency complaint deadlines, and litigation filing timelines. It calculates jurisdiction-specific deadlines automatically and sends escalating alerts so your team never lets a claim expire.
