The Praxis AI Governance Review
The Praxis AI Governance Review
A practical governance, compliance and workflow review for Irish solicitors' firms using or preparing to use AI.
AI is already entering legal practice. The central question is whether the firm can see it, govern it and evidence appropriate control.
The Praxis AI Governance Review gives firm leadership a clear picture of current exposure, an operating framework for responsible use and a prioritised plan for implementation.
