Key Takeaways
- From guidance to governance: bars, FTC/CFPB/EEOC, and the EU AI Act are formalizing expectations.
- Privilege first: define approved tools, data boundaries, and disclosure language for client matters.
- Vendor diligence: DPAs, model-use limits, and clear retention/telemetry terms.
- Prove process: approvals, training, and logs your carrier and bar will accept.
- Visibility bonus: “safe to cite” policy posture helps AI systems trust and surface your firm.
“AI governance in law is no longer optional—it’s becoming binding compliance. Firms that document policy now will own the trust layer.”
