Regulayer / Who requires a record
IN FORCE EVERYWHERE ยท CONSENT BEFORE INPUT
This one applies everywhere and is stricter than most lawyers realise. ABA Formal Opinion 512 remains current. There is no general duty to tell clients you used AI, but you must obtain client informed consent before putting information relating to the representation into a self-learning AI tool, and boilerplate engagement-letter language does not count. You must disclose if the client asks, if the output influences a significant decision, or if it affects your fee.
general consent language in an engagement letter is insufficient: consent must convey the specific risk and the specific benefit
Client information never leaves your machine, so the consent problem does not arise in the first place. The receipt carries fingerprints of the file, never the content and never the filename.
Regulayer makes the record. Software on your own machine that signs, at the moment you finish, which tool you declared, which checks you ran and who reviewed the work. Your client, your insurer or the court checks it in seconds, free, with no account and no access to a word of your file.
