LAW
Built for and Professional Duty
From matter intake to discovery, responsible AI that meets the standard your clients, courts, and bar expect.
Why It Matters
Law firms and corporate legal departments hold their clients’ most sensitive information, and generative AI is now part of research, drafting, contract review, and discovery. In July 2024, the ABA’s Formal Opinion 512 made clear that a lawyer’s duties of competence, confidentiality, client communication, candor to the tribunal, supervision, and reasonable fees all apply when using generative AI. Courts have sanctioned filings that cited cases that don’t exist, and some judges now require lawyers to disclose AI use.
The challenges we see
Lawyers putting client information into AI tools outside the firm’s controls
No inventory of which AI tools touch which matters
Ethical walls and matter permissions that AI tools don’t respect
AI-generated research and drafts that aren’t verified before they’re filed or sent
Client outside counsel guidelines on AI use, tracked by hand
Billing questions when AI cuts the time a task takes
How A3R Helps
A3R helps firms and legal departments govern AI the way they already govern client information: by matter, by client, and by person. We turn your ethical obligations and your clients’ requirements into controls that apply wherever AI touches a matter, with a record you can show a client, a court, or a bar regulator.
