Legal
Privilege, confidentiality, and a duty that does not bend for convenience.
A law firm carries obligations that most organizations do not: privilege, confidentiality, conflicts, and client terms that can require a specific handling of specific data. AI tooling reaches across all of it unless the boundaries are real and enforced in the tenant.
What is already true here
- Matter confidentiality and ethical walls between teams
- Client engagement terms that dictate data handling and location
- Privilege that must survive both discovery and internal search
- Client audits and security questionnaires that need evidence
- Retention and disposal obligations that vary by matter
- Partners who need mobility without weakening the controls
What we do about it
- Ethical wall design using Microsoft 365 controls, evidenced for a client auditor
- Sensitivity labeling and data loss prevention aligned to matter confidentiality
- Permission review, because search and AI inherit whatever access already exists
- Retention and disposal configuration in Microsoft Purview
- Governance that answers a client security questionnaire with configuration, not intent

Everything above describes conditions that are true of Legal before we are involved. None of it asserts that we have served a named customer in this sector. Where we have customer evidence it is published separately, with the class of evidence stated alongside it.
