Are my communications with Inhouse AI protected by attorney-client privilege?
Not always. When you chat with Inhouse AI, you're interacting with an AI-powered platform, not an attorney. Because of that, conversations with the AI are generally not protected by attorney-client privilege.
Attorney-client privilege applies when you work directly with an Inhouse attorney through a Lawyer Task or other attorney service and an attorney-client relationship is established.
What does this mean for me?
Inhouse AI is a great way to ask questions, understand legal issues, create documents, and prepare for conversations with an attorney.
However, if you need legal advice protected by attorney-client privilege, you'll want to work directly with an Inhouse attorney.
If your matter involves sensitive information and you're unsure what to share, we recommend submitting a Lawyer Task or contacting our team. We'll help you determine the best path forward.
Our goal is to make legal help more accessible while giving you the option to involve a real attorney whenever you need one.
