Your attorneys are using AI. The question is whether your firm has the training, policies, and compliance infrastructure to manage it safely under New York rules.
69% of lawyers are using AI. 53% of firms have no policy governing it. The gap between adoption and governance is where malpractice risk, bar discipline, and client trust erosion live.

CLE teaches individual attorneys about AI concepts. It doesn't create a firm-wide policy, doesn't address NY-specific court orders, and goes stale the day it's recorded.
Large consulting firms like Alpha Apex deliver one-time AI assessments for Am Law 100 firms. Their price point excludes small and mid-size firms, and their deliverable is obsolete within months as regulations change.
Some managing partners draft their own AI policies based on online templates. These miss NY-specific requirements (NYC Bar 2024-5, individual judge orders), lack training components, and nobody monitors for regulatory changes.
AI tool vendors offer training on their products. This isn't compliance training — it's product onboarding. They teach you how to use their tool, not how to use AI within NY ethics obligations.
Built against NYC Bar Opinion 2024-5, NYSBA Task Force guidance, and individual SDNY/EDNY standing orders. Not a generic national program adapted for New York — built for New York from the ground up.
Training teaches your people what to do. A policy protects the firm when someone doesn't. We deliver both — a firm-specific AI Use Policy and hands-on training against real legal workflows.
AI regulation changes quarterly. Court orders arrive without warning. Our subscription means your policies and training stay current automatically — quarterly updates, court order tracking, real-time regulatory alerts.
