Founding-client rate: 20% off for the first five firms that sign by March 31, 2027, on any service bought in the 12 months after their first engagement letter (monthly and quarterly plans started in that time: 20% off for their first 12 months), in exchange for considering a short testimonial (published only with your approval) and permission to use de-identified findings.

Advisory Starter AI Policy

A short AI policy for your firm. Free.

Only 9% of firms have a written, enforced AI policy. This is the page to start from: a short AI use policy template written for Washington firms, with the nine things a policy has to settle and plain wording for each. Fill in the blanks, have your lawyers read it, have everyone sign it.

What's on the page

  • Scope: who the rules cover, including contractors
  • Approved tools, and the tools that are not allowed
  • Client-data classes and where each may go
  • Checking AI output before it leaves the office
  • What clients are told, and when consent is needed
  • Billing of AI-assisted work
  • Meeting recorders and AI note-takers
  • Reporting a slip: what to do when the wrong thing went in
  • Training, a yearly review of the policy and the tool list, and exceptions

What it can't know

Which tools your staff actually use, what each vendor does with the data, and where your client files live today. That is the AI Policy & Governance Package: the Approved Tool Register, the Client Data Map and the AI Output Verification Checklist, written for your firm, plus the AI policy questions workflow in your firm's AI tool.

Where it comes from

Written by Astreon Advisory for Washington firms, from the WSBA and ABA guidance on AI in law practice, and kept current as that guidance changes.

Not legal advice

A template, for your lawyers to review. Astreon Advisory provides technical and operational advice; the legal language is theirs to approve.
