About this webinar
In May 2024 the ABA issued Formal Opinion 512, its first formal guidance on generative AI and the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. This on-demand webinar translates that opinion into practical terms for managing partners, GCs, and firm administrators: where confidentiality (Rule 1.6) and competence (Rule 1.1) obligations apply to AI tools, when client consent and disclosure are required, how to handle billing for AI-assisted work, and what a defensible AI-use policy looks like in practice. You will leave with a clear framework for letting your attorneys benefit from AI while staying inside your ethical and cyber-insurance obligations.
