What the phone looks like for a Manchester law firm
Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester has a population of around 2.8 million, built on media, technology and a dense network of independent trades across ten boroughs. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a law firm working across the Northern Quarter, Salford and Didsbury most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
Legal enquiries are made in a moment of stress and the caller instructs whoever answered and sounded competent.
Callwise answers on your own 0161 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.
When Manchester calls go unanswered
- while fee earners are in meetings or at court
- lunch, when the switchboard thins out
- evenings, when working clients can finally ring
What Manchester callers want

Manchester law firms ask us
Do we keep our 0161 number?
Yes. Your existing 0161 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Manchester customers reach you changes.
Do you work with law firms outside Manchester?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Manchester and everywhere across Greater Manchester is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Will it give legal advice?
No, ever, and it says so. It takes the enquiry, asks your intake questions and books the appointment.
Can it route to the right department?
Yes. Family, conveyancing, personal injury and commercial can each have their own questions and their own diary.
Is it confidential?
Calls are recorded and transcribed and callers are told at the start. Data is processed under a data processing agreement, and you set the retention period.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Manchester customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
