Legal AI Starts With What Cannot Be Shared

AI can help legal teams summarize, draft, compare, and organize. But legal work often contains confidential client information, privileged communications, strategy, and regulated data. The first question is not 'Which model is best?' It is 'What data is allowed here?'

Data type	Risk	Safer move
Public statute or case text	Low confidentiality risk	Use approved research workflow
Client contract	Confidential business terms	Use approved enterprise tool or redact
Legal strategy memo	Privilege risk	Ask supervising attorney or policy
Personal data	Privacy obligations	Minimize, redact, or avoid external tools

Data type

Risk

Safer move

Public statute or case text

Low confidentiality risk

Use approved research workflow

Client contract

Confidential business terms

Use approved enterprise tool or redact

Legal strategy memo

Privilege risk

Ask supervising attorney or policy

Personal data

Privacy obligations

Minimize, redact, or avoid external tools

Identify whether the material is public, internal, confidential, privileged, or regulated.

Use only approved tools for confidential material.

Redact names, account numbers, and facts that are not needed for the task.

Do not ask AI to make final legal judgments without attorney review.

Save enough prompt/output context for review when policy requires it.

The safe pattern is simple: classify data first, choose tools second, draft third, review before relying.
