The Missed Case Inquiries Cost Your Firm Revenue
Missed Calls Cost High-Value Mass Arbitration Clients Before Case Filing
In 2024, 82 new consumer mass arbitration cases were submitted—many initiated by individuals who first contacted a mediation firm via phone. When potential claimants reach voicemail, 85% never return, often choosing competitors with immediate response capabilities. For firms handling high-stakes mass arbitration involving uncapped administrative fees and significant arbitrator fee exposure, losing a single pre-award settlement opportunity can mean forfeiting thousands in claimant retention agreement revenue. A delayed response may also undermine settlement leverage, especially when claimants are pressured by escalating costs before formal case administration begins.
Fee Exposure Drives Pre-Adjudication Settlements—But Poor Call Handling Undermines Strategy
With only 1% of consumer mass arbitration cases concluding post-award and 2% of employment cases resolving after an award, the vast majority are settled before formal proceedings. Firms use the threat of uncapped administrative fees and arbitrator fee exposure as settlement leverage—but this strategy collapses if clients can’t reach the firm during critical decision windows. A delayed response during the pre-award settlement phase can allow claimants to accept lower offers from other mediators or even drop the case entirely, reducing the firm’s ability to negotiate favorable outcomes through global mediation.
Repetitive Intake Delays Case Management and Weakens Mediation Success Rate
Mediation success rate exceeds 85%—but only when clients feel heard from the first interaction. When a claimant calls multiple times due to unanswered calls, they must repeat case details, legal claims, and prior concerns. This inconsistency damages trust and delays the assignment of a case manager. In high-volume environments like mass arbitration, where 10 employment cases were filed in 2024 alone, inefficient intake processes can delay non-binding mediation scheduling by 48–72 hours, reducing the window for pre-award settlement and increasing the risk of case abandonment.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture More Cases with 24/7 Availability
With 24/7 AI answering, a mediation firm handling 20+ consumer mass arbitration cases monthly can convert 85% of callers who previously reached voicemail into booked consultations. For example, one firm reduced its average intake time from 3 days to under 2 hours after implementing Answrr, enabling faster assignment of a case manager and timely initiation of global mediation. This speed directly increases settlement leverage and helps capture cases before claimants are influenced by competing firms or escalate fees.
Build Trust with Personalized, Consistent Service
An AI receptionist with long-term memory retains key details such as claim type (e.g., consumer data breach, employment discrimination), prior mediation attempts, and client preferences. When a claimant calls back after initial contact, the AI recalls their case history, previous concerns about arbitrator fee exposure, and interest in a claimant retention agreement. This consistency builds trust and reduces intake friction—critical in a field where 85% of mediations succeed only when clients feel validated early. One firm reported a 40% increase in client retention after implementing AI-powered continuity across calls.
Reduce Administrative Burden & Save 80% on Phone Costs
Replacing a full-time human receptionist with Answrr reduces phone-related operational costs by 80%—freeing up $60,000 annually for a mid-sized mediation firm. This savings can be reinvested in hiring additional case managers or funding pre-award settlement strategies. The AI handles 15+ concurrent calls during peak hours (e.g., post-announcement of a mass arbitration), ensuring no client is lost during high-volume periods. One firm processing 12 mass arbitration cases per month saw a 30% reduction in administrative overhead within the first quarter.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 3–4 high-value consumer mass arbitration cases per month because clients couldn’t reach us after business hours. Now, our AI receptionist answers every call, collects key details like the number of claimants and whether they’re under a claimant retention agreement, and books a consultation within 10 minutes. Since switching, we’ve increased our pre-award settlement rate by 22% and reduced intake delays from 72 hours to under 4 hours.”
Linda Chen
Managing Director, National Mediation Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“I was skeptical about AI, but the natural voice and ability to recall case specifics—like a client’s prior arbitration experience and their concern about uncapped administrative fees—made it feel like a real team member. We’ve seen a 30% spike in consultation bookings, and our case managers now spend 50% less time on intake, focusing instead on crafting settlement leverage strategies for employment mass arbitration cases.”
Derek Thompson
Senior Case Manager, Arbitration & Mediation Solutions, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Setting up the AI agent took 8 minutes. It asked about our service offerings—global mediation, non-binding mediation, claimant retention agreements—and then built a custom agent trained on our case types, including consumer data breaches and workplace discrimination. Now, even after a client calls twice, the AI remembers their concerns about arbitrator fee exposure and references them in the next conversation. It’s like having a dedicated intake specialist on 24/7.”
