Governance
What you no longer have to worry about
The way to control AI in a firm your size is not a wall around it. It is giving your people an approved way to do the work that already lives inside your controls.
Client information leaving the firm.
Sensitive work runs on private AI that Albi hosts in Microsoft Azure. Your matters are never sent to a public AI service. Your firm’s data is encrypted and kept separate from every other firm’s, and it is never used to train a model. Not by Albi, and not by anyone else.
Something going out that nobody checked.
AI-generated work waits for an attorney or staff sign-off before it goes to a client or into your records. Your firm can relax that for specific routine actions. Everything else keeps waiting.
What did AI actually do?
Every AI action is recorded: which contact it was for, what it did, which model did the work, when, and what was approved. Each record is chained to the one before, so a changed entry shows up, and the chain is checked every night. You can see the record for any contact and export it, and each matter has its own activity history. When a client, a court or the bar asks how something was done, you have it.
A draft that reads well and is wrong.
Albi works from your firm’s information, not the internet’s. Every claim in a draft carries its source and whether it has been checked. If one source fails, you see everything that rested on it. When the information is not there, Albi marks the gap instead of filling it.
Built so you can show your work.
If someone asks how AI was used on a matter, you should be able to answer: what it did, when, on which matter, and who approved it. That record exists by default.

Technical details
- Where models run
- Sensitive work runs on private AI models that Albi hosts in Microsoft Azure. Your matters are never sent to a public AI service.
- Encryption and separation
- Your firm’s data is encrypted and kept separate from every other firm’s. Albi holds the encryption keys and manages the environment so your firm does not have to.
- Training
- No firm’s data is ever used to train or fine-tune a model. Not by Albi, and not by anyone else.
- Retention
- Every AI action has a record: what happened, when, for which contact, and who approved it. Those records are kept for at least seven years. You set how long recordings, transcripts, texts and documents are kept, and you can place a legal hold.
- Access model
- Your firm chooses who uses Albi and which systems Albi connects to. Matter access inside Albi is currently firm-wide for the people your firm gives access.
- Approval defaults
- By default, AI-generated work waits for an attorney or staff sign-off before it goes to a client or into your case management records. Your firm can relax that for specific routine actions, and everything else keeps waiting until it is approved.
- Your firm’s information only
- Albi works from your matters, documents, and templates. When the information it needs is not there, it marks the gap instead of filling it.
Under ABA Formal Opinion 512, lawyers remain responsible for confidentiality, accuracy, supervision, and client communication when they use AI. Albi does not remove that judgment. It gives your team a controlled way to apply it.
