Questions from law firms

Is client material safe?

It depends on the tool and plan. The AI tool register shows how each handles data.

Does it give legal advice?

No. Advice stays with your lawyers.

Do you have a law firm case study?

Not yet. The closest is in another regulated profession.

Will it work with our practice-management system?

If it can share its records, yes. We check first.
