1. Client Confidentiality (Ill.R.P.C. 1.6)
Illinois firms must ensure AI platforms use encryption, prohibit client-data training, and provide signed BAAs for medical records containing PHI.
2. Competence (Ill.R.P.C. 1.1)
Attorneys must understand AI capabilities and limitations, verify AI-generated findings, and train their teams on proper AI use.
3. The Section 2-622 Advantage
AI-generated merit reports with citation-backed findings can provide the evidentiary foundation for a timely affidavit — potentially saving firms days or weeks of manual review.
4. Short Repose Period Compliance
Illinois's 4-year repose means every day of delay in case identification risks losing the claim. AI-powered 24/7 intake ensures cases are identified immediately.
5. Supervision (Ill.R.P.C. 5.3)
Establish written AI policies, quality controls, and attorney accountability for all AI-assisted work product.
