The Dilemma: Use AI or Protect Confidentiality?

Every lawyer knows the temptation: A complex case, and ChatGPT could help with research. But are you even allowed to?

Client Confidentiality

Lawyers are bound by strict confidentiality obligations:
UK: Data Protection Act 2018 + Legal Services Act 2007
US: Attorney-client privilege (varies by state)
Ireland: Data Protection Act 2018 + Legal Services Regulation Act 2015

Legal Liability

Unauthorized disclosure of confidential client information can result in malpractice claims, regulatory sanctions, and significant financial penalties across all jurisdictions.

Professional Consequences

Violations can lead to reprimands, fines, suspension, or even disbarment. The SRA (UK), state bar associations (US), and LSRA (Ireland) take enforcement seriously.

The Solution: Mask Before Sending

Saklam replaces sensitive data with placeholders — before it leaves your computer.

1. Capture

You type your prompt as usual. Saklam runs invisibly in the background.

2. Mask

Client names, case numbers, addresses are automatically replaced with neutral placeholders.

3. Use

The masked prompt goes to the AI. The response comes back — without any client data being transmitted.

Frequently Asked Questions for Lawyers

Is using ChatGPT really prohibited for lawyers?

Not the use itself, but the transmission of client data. As long as no personally identifiable or case-related information is transmitted to AI servers, there is nothing preventing use. That is exactly where Saklam comes in — it masks all sensitive data before it leaves your computer.

Is my data processed locally or in the cloud?

Saklam Web Chat masks data directly in your browser — your original data never leaves your device. Alternatively, you can use Saklam Desktop for fully local processing.

What data types are detected?

Names, addresses, case numbers, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, sort codes, National Insurance numbers, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and many more. The AI engine continuously learns and also detects context-dependent data.

What happens if I breach client confidentiality?

Consequences vary by jurisdiction. In the UK, the SRA can impose fines, suspensions, or strike-off. In the US, state bars can impose sanctions up to disbarment. In Ireland, the LSRA can impose significant penalties. All jurisdictions also expose you to malpractice claims.
