The note guides AI integration in line with professional obligations. Solicitors remain accountable for their work, whether or not AI is used, and may ask clients to disclose AI-generated material. Paid tools must also be scrutinised: access, terms of service, data storage and the provider's location. Law Society president Brett Dixon said professional responsibility cannot be transferred to any AI system.
