Open 10-page guide
Legal AI, without the hype.
A practical guide for law firms in England and Wales. Understand where legal AI may help, where the risks sit and how to test one workflow safely.
No email address, booking or client data is required. The guide is operational guidance, not legal advice.
A practical starting point
Start with the work, not the software.
The guide turns a broad AI discussion into one bounded operating decision.
Set the boundary
Keep confidential information out until the tool, purpose, processor route and access controls have been approved.
Test and verify
Use representative non-client material, define failure conditions and require qualified review before anyone relies on an output.
The risks
Know what must stay human.
- professional judgment and final responsibility
- confidentiality and privilege decisions
- verification of legal authorities and facts
- fairness, bias and client-impact review
- supplier and information-security assessment
The operating method
Make the first test reversible.
- freeze the current workflow baseline
- name the owner and reviewer
- use a controlled sample
- record errors, corrections and time
- fix, buy, pilot or leave it alone
Apply it to one workflow
Move from reading to a measured decision.
Use the browser-only score to test whether a repeated workflow has enough evidence, ownership and control for a closer look.
