The firm's obligations, not just the client's.
In a law firm, the legal team is the business. So the question this page answers is not "can AI do legal work?" It is: what are the firm's own regulated obligations, and how does the work behind them get done and evidenced? That starts with client due diligence and confidentiality.
01 · The regulatory frame
The frame you operate under
Anti-money-laundering law makes relevant firms gatekeepers for client due diligence, beneficial ownership, source of funds, and ongoing monitoring. Professional conduct rules add confidentiality and privilege. Conflict rules must hold across the client base. GDPR governs personal data in every matter file, including the right of access under GDPR Article 15. Where AI is used, the firm remains responsible for use-case risk classification.
A law firm's own regulated obligations begin with client due diligence and confidentiality.
