Who it’s for

Meeting scheduler for law firms

Consultations booked with intake up front, paid at booking if you charge for them, and rescheduled by email when a hearing moves your week.

Where the time goes

  • An empty consultation slot is billable time gone for good.
  • Intake gathered in the meeting spends the meeting on paperwork.
  • One docket change cascades through a week of appointments.
  • Phone tag with clients and co-counsel burns hours nobody bills.

The part that runs itself

CC your scheduler

Co-counsel emails about finding time to prep. CC your scheduler and the drafted reply carries real openings from your calendar. You approve, and it sends from your own email.

Booking in plain English

A potential client types "Thursday afternoon" on your booking page and sees exactly those openings. The consultation books itself while the matter is urgent to them.

Rebooking that runs itself

A hearing moves and Thursday’s consult has to move with it. Cancel it, and the rebooking email with three real open slots is drafted for your approval — the client picks one and it is done.

A real scheduler underneath

Paid consultations through your own Stripe account at 0% platform fee, intake questions answered at booking, minimum notice, and buffers that keep court days clear.

Where it fits

  • Paid initial consultations, charged at booking, with refunds following your policy.
  • Free case evaluations with matter-type and party questions answered up front.
  • Prep sessions with co-counsel scheduled by CC-ing your scheduler on the thread.
  • Docket-change reschedules handled by drafted email instead of a call-down list.

How law firms use Buildout Schedule

    Charge for the consult at booking

  2. 2

    Move intake ahead of the meeting

    Matter type, parties involved, urgency — asked at booking, attached to the appointment, and read before the client sits down. The hour goes to the matter.

    Absorb the docket changes

    When court moves your week, affected clients get rebooking emails with genuine open slots — drafted for your approval, sent from your email, picked by the client.

Common questions

How does Buildout Schedule handle a court date landing on a consultation?

Cancel the consult and the rebooking email is drafted with three real open slots for the client to pick from. You approve it before it sends, and the client rebooks in one tap.

Yes — set a price on the event type and it charges at booking through Stripe Checkout. Refunds follow your cancellation policy, and Buildout Schedule takes 0%.

Can we collect matter details before the meeting?

Intake questions attach to every booking — matter type, opposing parties, timeline, anything you need screened before the meeting. Required fields are supported.

Does anything send to a client without review?

No. Scheduler drafts and rebooking emails wait for your approval, and approved sends go out from your own email address.
