PDF • Abstract below

Abstract

This white paper targets firms moving beyond AI pilots to focus on compliance, security, and privacy aspects of agent‑driven workflows. We describe three modes of AI use in legal practice: private (airtight security), local AI (standard security and intelligence), and policy‑restricted cloud AI (maximum intelligence). Our emphasis is on actionable practices that enable law firms to adopt secure and efficient automation without the burden of heavyweight software or hardware platforms.
