How does legal privilege apply to the use of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) by lawyers? In this week’s NLJ, Olivia Dhein, knowledge lawyer at RPC, and Ben Roe, lead knowledge lawyer at Baker McKenzie, highlight some overlooked risks and consider various workplace scenarios.
The authors set out the opposing schools of thought on working papers, suggesting a cautious approach, and address the complex issue of ownership of the client file. As well as exploring practical considerations, they discuss how the law of privilege may need to evolve.
