Legal AI: Managing the Risks of AI Use in Law Firms

When solicitors use AI, they may be feeding it confidential client information, privileged material and court documents, which raises questions that generic workplace AI guidance doesn't cover. This recorded session from VinciWorks looks at where legal AI can go wrong and how firms can manage the risks responsibly.

It covers how AI is being used in law firms, confidentiality, privilege and data protection risks, hallucinations and unreliable output, supervising and taking accountability for AI-assisted work, the dangers of staff using public AI tools, and client transparency and consent.

It finishes with the practical side: AI policies, controls and approval processes, and how to train staff to use AI safely, which makes it a good starting point for a firm drafting or reviewing its AI policy.
