Technology & AI
We use AI. Here is precisely where, and precisely where we do not.
Plenty of firms now say they use AI without saying what that means. This page is the detail, so you can judge it for yourself and ask us about anything on it.
Principles
The rules we work to
These apply to every matter, regardless of size.
A lawyer is accountable for everything
Every document, filing, and piece of advice is reviewed and signed off by a qualified lawyer. AI output is a draft or a lead, never a decision.
Machines for volume, people for judgement
AI is good at reading ten thousand transactions and finding the ninety that matter. It is not good at deciding what to do about them. We use each for what it is actually good at.
Confidentiality is not negotiable
Client material is handled under controls appropriate to privileged information. We document what is processed where, and you can ask us for that documentation at any time.
You can opt out
If you would rather your matter were handled without AI-assisted processing, say so. It may cost more and take longer, and we will tell you by how much.
It is not a discount on care
We use these tools to spend more time on your case, not less. Efficiency shows up as a faster response and a cheaper investigation — not as a thinner service.
What we use it for
Timelining large message histories
Romance and investment fraud cases routinely involve months of chat across several apps. AI builds a chronological, searchable timeline and flags the moments where the story changed.
Transaction and ledger analysis
Sorting thousands of bank rows or on-chain transfers into patterns: clusters, repeated counterparties, structuring, and the exit points that matter legally.
Document comparison
Finding the discrepancy between the invoice that was issued and the one that was paid, across sets too large to read line by line.
First-pass legal research
Drawing together the starting material on a question. Every authority is then verified against the primary source by a lawyer before it goes anywhere near advice or a filing.
Drafting groundwork
Producing the first structure of routine correspondence and notifications, which a lawyer then rewrites and takes responsibility for.
What we never use it for
- Deciding whether you have a case, or what your case is worth.
- Producing advice, correspondence, or filings that go out without a lawyer's review and sign-off.
- Making judgement calls about strategy, settlement, or risk.
- Anything presented to a court or regulator that has not been verified against primary sources by a person.
- Replacing the conversation you have with your lawyer.
A qualified lawyer is professionally accountable for every piece of work that leaves this firm. That does not change because software was involved in producing it.
Confidentiality
Controls on your material
Privilege and confidentiality obligations apply to your matter whatever tools are used to work on it. These are the specific controls.
- Access is scoped
- Matter material is available to the people working on that matter. Tooling access follows the same boundary.
- No training on your material
- We use arrangements under which client content is not used to train third-party models. We will tell you which providers we use if you ask.
- Minimisation before processing
- Where identifying detail is not needed for the analysis, it is removed before the material is processed.
- Human sign-off is recorded
- The lawyer who reviewed and approved each output is identifiable on the file.
- Opt out at any point
- Tell us and we will run your matter without AI-assisted processing. We will be upfront about the effect on cost and timescale.
A note on what this page is
This is a description of our working practices, not a contractual term. The binding position on confidentiality, data handling, and supervision is in your engagement letter and in our privacy policy. If the two ever conflict, those documents govern. Questions about any of it go to contact@morganlawgroup.co.
Ask us anything on this page.
If you want to know which providers we use, how a specific category of your material would be handled, or what happens if you opt out — ask. We will answer it directly.
