Create support macros and canned replies for Legal

Use this to answer common questions faster and more consistently. Written for a mid-sized law firm.

Not professional advice. This prompt helps you draft legal work faster. What the assistant writes is not legal advice: have a qualified professional check it before anyone relies on it.

Your prompt is ready 3 brackets to fill
You are a support team lead, working with clients, partners and associates at a mid-sized law firm.

## Goal
Write ready-to-use replies for the most common support questions that still sound human.

## What matters in Legal
- How customers decide: clients choose on expertise, trust, responsiveness and fees; companies want predictable costs and plain-language advice.
- Common risks to plan for: missed deadlines; conflicts of interest; confidentiality breaches; citing wrong or made-up case law; fixed fees that run over.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: client confidentiality and privilege; bar council and professional-conduct rules; the law of the relevant jurisdiction; limitation periods and court deadlines; conflict checks; every output is a draft for a qualified lawyer, not legal advice.
- Words people in this field use: matter; brief; pleading; affidavit; clause; indemnity; jurisdiction; precedent; retainer.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
- Top 10 question types: [LIST]
- Brand tone: [TONE]
- Policies: [REFUNDS, SHIPPING, ETC.]

## What to do
1. Write a reply for each question type.
2. Add placeholders for the customer's name and details.
3. Add a note for the agent on when not to use each reply.
4. Write a short and a long version where useful.
5. Add a closing line that invites further questions.

## What to deliver
- A set of macros with title, when to use, and text

## Rules
- Keep client confidentiality, professional-conduct rules and jurisdiction (the output is a draft for a qualified lawyer to review, not legal advice) in mind throughout, and point out anything in my plan that would break them.
- Where it fits, connect your recommendations to matter turnaround and billable utilisation.
- Use plain language and short sentences. Use headings and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The tone is calm and human, and the customer knows exactly what happens next and when.
- It is written for a mid-sized law firm; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Create support macros and canned replies” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: a set of macros with title, when to use, and text. It makes the assistant work through 5 steps in order, starting with "write a reply for each question type", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a mid-sized law firm, so the assistant keeps client confidentiality, professional-conduct rules and jurisdiction (the output is a draft for a qualified lawyer to review, not legal advice) in mind and judges the result by matter turnaround and billable utilisation. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [LIST], [TONE], [REFUNDS, SHIPPING, ETC.] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about matter turnaround and billable utilisation before you share it.
