We live in the age of artificial intelligence, and tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and others are everywhere. We understand the temptation to use them for research, drafting, and getting quick answers about your legal situation.

We strongly caution you: Do not share confidential business information, legal strategies, or facts about your legal matter with any AI platform.

Here’s why this matters for you as our client:

The Attorney-Client Privilege Does Not Extend to AI Platforms.

The attorney-client privilege is a fundamental protection that allows you to communicate freely and candidly with your attorney. It applies to communications between you and your lawyers at The Entrepreneur Lawyers. It does not apply to information you share with third-party AI services. When you upload or share sensitive information with an AI platform, that information leaves the protected space of our attorney-client relationship and enters the servers, data systems, and training datasets of third-party technology companies.

Sharing Confidential Information With AI May Waive Your Privilege.

Under many state laws, attorney-client privilege can be waived when confidential communications are voluntarily shared with third parties outside of the privileged relationship. Courts in every jurisdiction have not uniformly addressed AI disclosure yet — but the risk is real and growing. What you share with an AI tool is not confidential in the legal sense, and adversaries in your matter could potentially obtain and use that information against you.

This Can Compromise Our Ability to Represent You Effectively.

When our attorneys do not know the full picture of what you have shared, where, and with whom, it limits our ability to protect your interests. Opposing counsel in a dispute could discover AI-generated communications or submissions and use them against you.

What You Should Do Instead:

• Call us. Our number is 1 (833) LAW-TELS. We are here for exactly these questions.
• Email us directly from your secure personal or business account.
• Use the secure contact form on this website.
• If you must use AI tools for general research, never include the specific facts, strategies, or details of your legal matter.

We take our obligation to protect your confidentiality seriously. We ask that you take it seriously, too.
