Run open-weight models in a workspace your firm governs: zero-retention inference that never stores or trains on your prompts, and a complete audit trail of who asked what, when. Enterprise: deployed inside your firm's own cloud tenant, where matter data never crosses your perimeter.
Pasting client facts into a public AI tool is a disclosure decision. Under your duty of confidentiality, that's a decision you're making for your client, every time, often without telling them.
Courts are increasingly issuing standing orders on AI use in filings, and opposing counsel is learning to ask what you fed the model.
A closed AI vendor's terms of service can change, and their retention practices are theirs, not yours.
Plan the evaluation
Synthetic example — not a customer story or measured result.
Compare two invented contract clauses with no client or matter information. Ask a lawyer to review both the draft and the proposed handling of future client inputs.
Use this checklist to prepare your conversation. It is not evidence that a deployment passed review. Confirm current controls against the Trust Center and the configuration being proposed.
Review the law-firm confidentiality questionsOpen models running in your own cloud, with the logs and controls to prove it. We'll walk your team through the exact architecture.
