The Story
published advice for in-house counsel on AI governance. The guidance covers practical considerations for integrating AI systems within corporate legal departments.
Why It Matters
This isn't just for corporate lawyers. For boutique firms, it means you *must* have clear policies for AI use now. Don't wait for the EU AI Act. Understand what data goes where, who's responsible for outputs, and how it impacts client confidentiality. It’s about managing risk, not just chasing shiny tools.
What To Do About It
I can help your firm draft an AI governance framework in 1-3 days, ensuring your lawyers use AI ethically and compliantly, starting with tools like Microsoft Copilot you already pay for.
