An AI law firm should be able to answer the question it tells clients to prepare for: what do you use, for what, and with which guardrails. This page is our answer, published in the open.
We use AI tooling where it makes the work faster and more consistent without changing who is responsible for it: first-pass drafting against our own templates, issue-spotting across long documents, comparing positions to our playbooks, and organizing research before counsel reads it.
No model sets a legal position, a risk tolerance, or a recommendation. No output reaches you without counsel reading it. And nothing on a matter is ever left to a system that cannot be accountable to you, a court, or a bar.
These are standing commitments of the practice, not aspirations. They apply to every matter, every tool, every time.
Client confidential information is handled only in environments consistent with our professional obligations. We do not put client matter data into consumer AI tools that sit outside those controls, however capable they are.
We do not permit tools to train on client information. Vendors are vetted for data handling, retention, and training terms before anything touches a matter.
AI output is a draft input to counsel's work, never a finished product. Anything that leaves the firm has been read, corrected, and adopted by a lawyer who is accountable for it.
Tooling never shortcuts conflicts checks, privilege boundaries, or professional responsibility rules. Where a tool and an obligation conflict, the obligation wins and the tool goes.
Clients can ask what categories of tools touch their matter and how they are configured. We answer in plain language, the same way we advise clients to answer their own customers.
The economics are the honest part. Technology does the work a leverage pyramid of junior associates used to do, which is why a single senior practitioner can run matters that once needed a team, at a cost structure that reflects it.
You are paying for judgment and accountability. The machinery exists so that more of your fee buys exactly that.
Faster first drafts, fewer missed issues, and consistency across every document in an engagement. The speed is real, and so is the line: nothing is advice until counsel has made it advice.
If your own company is wrestling with the same questions, that is precisely our practice. See AI Governance & Compliance.
