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.
