Whether your firm already uses AI, has "banned" it, or is just exploring — the same fundamentals apply: a real policy, proper training, and the ability to spot AI misuse (your own or opposing counsel's).
If your firm already uses AIYou've heard about AI's potential to save time and improve efficiency, but you're worried about hallucinations, sanctions, and ethical violations.
We help you set up clear expectations:
First learn how generative AI can go off the rails. Start from a place of knowledge instead of hype, so you can use AI effectively while avoiding others' mistakes.
"We don't use AI" — you probably already doEven if your firm doesn't use AI, you need to have a policy explicitly banning it. The absence of a policy is not a ban, and firms with no policy have gotten in trouble numerous times.
Protecting Your Clients and Practice:
If your firm is interested in adopting AIFirst, you are probably using some AI even if you don't think of it that way. You probably use Microsoft Word or Google things. We'll help you get a handle on your existing AI risks and help you move forward with intentional generative AI adoption.

We help you set up clear expectations:
- Inventory Existing AI Risk: What tools are you already using? Where is AI that you might not have considered. What "boring" use cases are riskier than you realized?
- Use Case Identification: Not every legal task is a good fit for AI. We help you find what will actually save you time after considering the time it takes to check the output.
- Policy Development: Create clear guidelines for who uses AI, what programs, for what purpose, and how that output is checked and used in your practice.
- Verification Workflows: Implement robust checking procedures to catch hallucinations before they cause problems. This includes overlooked risks you might not have considered, like "writing help" that can change a witness's verbatim quote to be more grammatically correct.
- Training Programs: Train your team on AI risks and use in line with your governance policy.
- Compliance & Ethics: Help you consider how your AI usage and governance rules align with ABA Model Rules, state bar requirements, and court expectations.

Protecting Your Clients and Practice:
- Opposing Counsel: Recognize when the other side may have used AI improperly. Spot hallucinated citations, inconsistent facts, or suspiciously formatted briefs.
- Client Expectations: Clients are seeing AI everywhere and may ask why you don't use it, or worse, use it themselves without understanding the risks.
- Ethical Obligations: ABA Formal Opinion 512 requires competence in understanding the benefits and risks of AI—even if you don't use it.
- Expert Testimony: If AI-related issues arise in your cases, you need foundational knowledge to work with experts or challenge AI-generated evidence.
