The EU AI Act for law firms using AI

Most legal AI — research, drafting, review — is minimal-risk. The obligations to watch are client-facing transparency and the firm's own AI literacy.

Using AI to research, draft, or review documents is generally minimal-risk. The Act still expects AI literacy across the firm (Article 4).

Client-facing intake chatbots bring Article 50 transparency. Be cautious with any tool that profiles individuals for decisions.
