The problem
- Briefs sent to cloud LLMs.Privilege waiver risk on every AI query.
- Cloud model reads case strategy.Malpractice liability.
- No audit trail.Client trust eroded.
The solution
Every query stays on your node.
Legal privilege preserved by architecture. Case content never reaches a third-party model — every client query is processed on your firm's node. The only AI setup your compliance officer can actually sign off on.
ABA Model Rule 1.6
"A lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client."
Case content never reaches a third-party model. Privilege preserved by architecture.
Frequently asked questions
Does sending a brief to a cloud LLM waive attorney-client privilege?
Voluntary disclosure of privileged content to a third party can risk waiver. Privedge keeps case content from reaching any third-party model — privileged material is tokenized or processed on your node before egress.
How does this map to ABA Model Rule 1.6?
Rule 1.6(c) requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. Removing privileged content from what is sent to external models is a concrete technical safeguard supporting that duty.
Does the model lose useful context when names are removed?
No. Identifiers are replaced with consistent tokens ([PARTY_1], [CLIENT_2]), so the model reasons over structure and relationships while real identities stay on your infrastructure.
Can we evidence this for professional-secrecy obligations?
Yes. Each request produces an audit record (no content stored) showing what was detected and how it was routed — evidence that privileged data was handled appropriately.
