As artificial intelligence becomes a routine part of modern law practice, it brings with it both powerful capabilities and pressing concerns—especially regarding attorney-client privilege. This CLE program examines how emerging AI tools, from document review platforms and legal research assistants to predictive analytics and client communication systems, can affect the protection of confidential information.

We will discuss how AI use may influence the establishment, preservation, or inadvertent waiver of both the attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. The session will draw on recent court decisions, ethics opinions, and regulatory developments to outline practical guidance for lawyers.

Through interactive hypotheticals and real-world examples, participants will learn how to spot privilege-related risks, navigate evolving professional responsibilities, and implement safeguards that ensure confidentiality remains intact in an AI-enhanced practice.
