    SECTOR CONTEXT / LEGAL
    OPERATING CONTEXT

    How is professional judgement preserved when research and document work become automated?

    Legal organisations manage work in which the source, accuracy and confidentiality of information matter. Digital platforms and AI tools need clear boundaries around what is published, what is shared and what requires professional review. Tiph examines the information structures and working practices that support those boundaries.

    ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS

    Operating
    considerations.

    Knowledge dispersed across documents, people and systems

    Confidential information entering tools without approved arrangements

    Unclear review responsibilities for AI-assisted work

    Client-facing content that obscures the scope of a practice or service

    ADVISORY SCOPE

    Areas of
    examination.

    Knowledge structure and publishing-governance review

    Client-communication and secure-workflow requirements

    AI adoption policies, review checkpoints and training needs

    Clear descriptions of practice areas and professional responsibilities

    TIPH PERSPECTIVE

    Professional knowledge and controlled use of AI

    Adoption policies need to reach the work people perform each day. Naming an approved tool is only one part of the process; review responsibilities, acceptable inputs and escalation routes need to be explicit.
