AI governance for law firms, grounded in real workflows
For law firms, the first risk is often in the text copied into the model. The DUBSAR journey is designed to begin with identifiable use, then apply policy only to the selected flows that actually pass through its Gateway.

AI governance for Law firms
The first risk is often in the text copied into the model
A request for a summary may contain a client name, litigation strategy, privileged advice or an identifiable document. The risk therefore depends on the payload and purpose, not just the model brand.
Public legal research, drafting a generic template and analysing a client file need different routes and approval rules.
AI governance for Law firms
Protect confidentiality without banning useful tools
A connected Gateway is designed to refuse an unapproved provider, remove defined identifiers or hold an external communication for a responsible lawyer. Each action path must be implemented and proven before use.
- Detect client and matter references
- Restrict providers by task
- Require review before sensitive external use
- Keep the policy and decision trail
AI governance for Law firms
Begin with one recurring matter workflow
Choose a drafting assistant or document workflow used by a named team. Confirm what it may receive and where it may send data before widening scope.
The record should show the route, matter-data rule, decision and reviewer without duplicating the full client file.

Frequently asked questions
What to know before going further.
Does DUBSAR certify AI use for law firms?
No. DUBSAR is designed to apply policies and organise evidence on connected flows; it does not provide sector certification or legal advice.
Where should a law firms organisation begin?
With one bounded workflow, a named owner and an explicit list of permitted data, providers and human decisions. Wider coverage should follow only after that route has been tested.
