Filter non-viable enquiries
Salary fails, Legal Aid requests, and out-of-jurisdiction cases identified and redirected automatically.
Filtered before they reach a solicitor — scored against the Immigration Rules, delivered as a priority-ranked report your team can act on today.
The Real Problem
The enquiries arrive. But too many are the wrong enquiries — salary fails, Legal Aid requests, out-of-scope cases — consuming the one resource that cannot be recovered. Senior solicitor time.
AirCounsel filters enquiries before they reach a solicitor — using structured logic, current Immigration Rules thresholds, and a compliance-safe scoring methodology built specifically for UK immigration practice.
Salary fails, Legal Aid requests, and out-of-jurisdiction cases identified and redirected automatically.
Instruction-ready enquiries surfaced with a priority callback alert and a full qualification summary.
Your solicitors receive only qualified, structured, decision-ready referrals — scored across six gates.

Founder & Engineer · AirCounsel
Kwameh J. Dande is the founder of AirCounsel, an intake-engineering system for UK immigration practices. His work focuses on the control layer — the point where information becomes judgment-ready.
In Practice
AirCounsel was piloted against live UK immigration enquiry patterns across a structured test period. The report outlines how the six-gate qualification framework performs against Skilled Worker, family, and ILR route enquiries — including filtering accuracy and the format of the structured report delivered to the fee earner.
View the Pilot ReportThe Engine · Five Stages
Every intake passes through the same five-stage process — consistently applied, fully auditable, controlled by the firm.
Adaptive intake captures client circumstances and route intent with structured, context-aware questioning.
Raw input is normalised into validated, complete, and logically ordered data fields.
The six-gate framework applies Immigration Rules thresholds to assess route fit, eligibility, history, capacity, jurisdiction, and urgency.
Each case is classified into Instruction Ready, Needs Development, or Not Viable based on scoring outcomes.
A structured, decision-ready report reaches the fee earner — ensuring no unqualified cases enter the workflow.
Five stages. One consistent standard. Applied to every enquiry before it reaches a fee earner's desk.
Our Standard
We believe the first duty of technology in law is to protect the integrity of professional judgment. That begins with the information a practitioner receives.
Legal work begins with structured information. Every decision downstream depends on the quality of what enters upstream.
Every enquiry represents a person's circumstances. Intake is a professional responsibility, not a transaction.
Technology supports the practitioner. It never replaces the solicitor's role in interpreting facts, applying rules, and exercising judgment.
We handle information with the same discipline expected of regulated professionals, accuracy, restraint, and purpose-limited use.
Quality is not an event. It is a repeatable process. Our engine is designed to uphold that standard at scale.
Ethics and quality standards matter most at the moment judgment is about to be exercised. Our role is to ensure the information reaching that moment is structured, complete, and reliable.
AirCounsel — Ethics & Quality Manifesto
Compliance & Standards
Purpose-limited processing, explicit consent, and strict data minimisation.
Intake structured to support professional judgment, not replace it.
Encryption in transit and at rest, with controlled access boundaries.
Firms retain full control over retention, deletion, and export.
Due Diligence
Answered directly. No sales language.
AirCounsel sits at the front of your intake workflow — before any solicitor contact is made. It does not require changes to your case management system, your file structure, or your existing processes. The engine captures enquiries through a structured intake form, processes them against your qualification parameters, and delivers a structured report. Your team receives that report and proceeds as normal. Nothing downstream changes.
The current engine covers Skilled Worker, Spouse and Partner visas, and Indefinite Leave to Remain — the three routes that represent the highest volume of enquiries for most UK immigration practices. Additional routes are in active development and will be released as validated modules. During the pilot, the engine is configured to your firm's specific caseload profile.
The firm does. AirCounsel applies Immigration Rules thresholds as a baseline — the £38,700 salary threshold for Skilled Worker, the financial requirements for family routes, the residency periods for ILR. Beyond that baseline, the firm sets its own parameters: which case types to accept, which to refer, and how to weight urgency. The engine enforces your standard, not a generic one.
A structured report for each processed enquiry. The report contains: the client's circumstances in validated, field-complete format; the route assessed; the gate-by-gate scoring outcome; the classification — Instruction Ready, Needs Development, or Not Viable; and the specific thresholds applied. The fee earner receives what they need to make a decision — not an inbox of raw email threads.
AirCounsel operates with GDPR-aligned data handling throughout. Processing is purpose-limited — data captured during intake is used only for qualification. Explicit consent is obtained at the point of capture. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The firm retains full control over retention, deletion, and export. No client data is used for model training or shared with third parties.
The pilot runs for 14 days. During that period, the engine is configured to your firm's caseload profile and processes live enquiries through the full five-stage qualification framework. You receive structured reports for every case processed. At the end of the pilot, you have a clear picture of filtering accuracy, qualification rate, and time saved per fee earner.
The pilot is offered at no cost to the first firms accepted. Places are limited. If the engine does not deliver structured, decision-ready output within the pilot period, there is no further obligation.
No. AirCounsel is a qualification layer, not a staffing replacement. It handles the structured assessment of incoming enquiries — the part of intake that requires consistent application of rules and thresholds, not human judgment. Your intake staff and fee earners continue to manage client relationships, exercise legal judgment, and conduct consultations. The engine removes the burden of unqualified enquiries from their workload.
AirCounsel was built and is maintained by Kwameh J. Dande, founder of AirCounsel. The engine was designed specifically for UK immigration practices — not adapted from a generic lead qualification tool. Support during the pilot is direct: you have a single point of contact with full knowledge of the system. Firms are not handed to an account manager or a support queue.

Five UK immigration practices will shape how AirCounsel is calibrated, validated, and deployed at scale. The pilot cohort defines the standard everything that follows is measured against.
Pilot firms configure the engine to their caseload profile. Their parameters become the calibration baseline.
Feedback from the pilot directly shapes the qualification framework before general availability.
Pilot firms access AirCounsel at a rate that does not increase as the platform scales.
