The Law Society has issued a 58-page practice note on using AI within professional obligations. It says solicitors should tell clients about their AI use and may ask for disclosure of AI-generated material clients supply. It stresses that solicitors stay fully accountable for their work and warns that AI cannot reliably check its own outputs, so firms should vet tools' data handling and terms. Applies to solicitors in England and Wales, with guidance from the Law Society's president on professional responsibility.
