Privilege-Protected Copilot
Law firms and corporate legal departments cannot risk privilege breaches. Copilot requires specific controls to protect client confidentiality and attorney work product.
The Privilege Problem
Attorney-client privilege can be waived through inadvertent disclosure. When Copilot surfaces privileged content to unauthorized personnel, you risk losing privilege protection entirely.
Legal departments often have overly broad permissions accumulated over years. Copilot makes discovering this content trivial. What was hidden through obscurity is now findable through a simple query.
