How secure, stateless timekeeping tech restores control and compliance
Your associates are already using AI. The question isn’t whether artificial intelligence has arrived at your firm – it’s whether you control how it’s being used.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: half of professionals say they’ve use unauthorized AI tools at their firm. Every time someone pastes client matter details into ChatGPT to draft a time entry or uses a consumer app to transcribe billable conversations, your firm’s confidential data flows into systems you don’t control.
For law firms entrusted with clients’ most sensitive information — merger negotiations, litigation strategy, intellectual property — this isn’t just an IT concern. It’s an existential threat to the foundation of your client relationships: trust.
When innovation creates vulnerability
The AI timekeeping tools flooding the market promise impressive benefits: lightning-fast drafting, instant insights, effortless documentation. But scratch beneath the surface, and three critical risks emerge:
Data becomes a liability. Many AI systems retain input data or use it for training. That confidential client communication you fed into a consumer tool? It may now exist on servers you can’t access, subject to terms you never negotiated, in jurisdictions you didn’t choose.
Compliance becomes guesswork. Generic AI lacks understanding of complex billing rules: LEDES formats, matter-specific guidelines, jurisdictional requirements. The result? Increased write-offs, rejected invoices, and revenue leakage that compounds with every billing cycle.
Efficiency becomes illusion. If your AI can’t integrate with your practice management system, validate entries against client requirements, or scale across your enterprise, you end up with disconnected tools that create more work than they eliminate.
Four non-negotiables for AI in legal technology
The right AI solution for your firm must deliver on all four fronts:
- Stateless security: Client data is processed, never stored or used for model training.
- Proactive risk management: Continuously tested and safeguarded to ensure compliant, ethical performance across all use cases.
- Enterprise connectivity: Operates within your firm’s own secure Azure environment, integrating seamlessly with practice management and billing systems.
- Transparent governance: Supported by industry-standard security and privacy certifications, with ongoing monitoring and user control.
