Pre-launch placeholder. The full paper publishes here once final regulatory review is complete. The thesis below sets the direction of travel.
The short version
The SRA Standards and Regulations don't change because a draft started in software. The fee earner is still accountable for the work that leaves the firm. What changes is the supervision question: what's the firm's documented process for checking AI-assisted output, and is it being followed?
What the paper covers
- The Principles and Code of Conduct provisions most often cited in AI-assisted matters.
- What "competence" looks like when the first draft is machine-generated.
- How to document the firm's AI use for the COLP and the file alike.
- Practical risks: confidentiality, conflicts, complaints handling, and disclosure.
- A worked example: a Report on Title drafted by Trillic, reviewed by a fee earner, signed off by the supervising partner.
Who should read it
COLPs and COFAs evaluating tools for the firm. Managing partners deciding how AI fits inside the firm's quality framework. Senior fee earners who'll be the people reviewing AI-assisted drafts day to day.
