Use AI for a defined supporting task, then check the result yourself. Decide what information may be processed before uploading it. A confident answer can still be wrong, incomplete or unsupported, and the lawyer remains responsible for the work provided to the client.

Understand the situation and prepare

Begin with something you can verify, such as organizing dates from a known set of documents. Compare each important point with the original, check citations separately and look for omitted context. Follow your firm's information-handling rules and applicable professional guidance. Do not send an unchecked summary to a client or rely on it in a filing.

Choose a verifiable task and review the evidence

Start with a bounded use case such as locating a passage, organizing dates or reviewing a ready document. Decide which material may be processed under your firm's rules. Separate extracted facts, generated reasoning and professional conclusions; confidence or fluent language is not proof that an answer is supported or current.

A practical example

Illustrative example: Ask a matter question about a date recorded in an approved document. Open the citation, confirm the wording and surrounding context, then check whether another document conflicts with it. A correct citation format does not establish that the answer captures every relevant fact or justifies a legal conclusion.

Questions to settle before the next step

Confirm the runtime, access permissions and available sources before relying on output. Review proposed findings and actions against originals, and use appropriate legal research for legal propositions. Public product chat cannot replace private matter tools or professional review; ask support about unconfirmed provider-processing or retention policies.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

Your next steps

  1. Approve the use case and information-handling rules.
  2. Use only appropriate documents and permissions.
  3. Verify output against original sources and current law.
  4. Keep human review before advice, filing or publication.

How LegalMart can help

01 / MARKETPLACE

A clearer path from enquiry to engagement

LegalMart's AI-assisted catalogue search helps people explore services. It is a navigation aid, not personalized legal advice or a guarantee that a suggested service fits. The lawyer still assesses the request before accepting work.

02 / WORKPLACE

Tools for the work behind the service

Where enabled, Workplace document and intelligence tools assist with matter material, including organizing information for review. Use source documents to verify extracted details and generated answers. Keep human judgment between the tool's output and advice to the client.

What to keep in mind

LegalMart AI does not guarantee accuracy, completeness or current law. It is not an autonomous lawyer or a substitute for confidentiality assessment, professional research and review.
