As lawyers continue to adopt AI, we have seen several cases that underline the need for careful governance and risk management. It is obviously imperative that lawyers keep up to date with technological advances and guidance from their regulatory bodies including the SRA and Bar Council. The misuse of AI can lead to negligence claims, regulatory issues and reputational damage. AI is already embedded in many law firms. Its use will only become more prevalent, including by the court and clients. Lawyers will need to review retainers to reflect how AI and clients' data will be used to avoid inadvertent disclosures, data breaches and the breach of client privilege and confidentiality. Leaders of law firms must ensure that all their colleagues who provide legal services understand and comply with their duties when using the AI tools that are available. Lawyers who fail to do so (for example, by relying upon non-existent case citations) risk severe sanctions which will also impact on their firms from a financial and reputational perspective. Supervision of output has never been so important.
