Fixed-fee sprint

AI Governance Quick-Start

A firm-wide AI policy that respects privilege, and a list of what is approved.

The problem

Fee earners are using AI on client work. The firm's position exists in an email from last year, and client guidelines are starting to ask for something firmer.

The evidence

  • 27%

    admit to using unauthorized AI tools.

    Thomson Reuters Legal Department Operations Report, 2026

  • 2%

    of 1,054 outside counsel guidelines mention AI at all.

    Fulkerson Advisors, September 2026

What you get

  • Inventory of AI tools in use across practice groups, including personal-account use
  • Firm AI policy covering confidentiality, privilege, ethical walls and client consent
  • Approved-tool list with the route for adding to it
  • Human-review requirements by work type
  • The answer to the AI clause appearing in client guidelines

How it works

  1. WEEK 1

    Evidence

    Survey and interviews across practice groups. Record what is used, on which matters, and on whose account.

  2. WEEK 2

    Design and hand over

    Draft the policy and approved list with your risk lead, agree review rules by work type, and brief the practice heads.

Every engagement leaves an instrument behind. Here it is: A policy and tool register your risk team maintains.

What it costs

Fixed fee

2 weeks

Sprint fees are confirmed in writing when we scope the work, usually within one business day of your note.

What it does not include

We draft for your general counsel and risk committee to approve; this is not legal advice and it is not an opinion on your professional obligations. Vendor security assessments and enforcement tooling are separate work.
