## FAQ

**Q: Is it safe to use AI with confidential legal documents?**
We cover this in depth. The workshop includes a dedicated legal data handling module covering which tools are appropriate for different client data types, what zero-retention means in practice, and how to protect attorney-client privilege.

**Q: How do we maintain professional secrecy (Art. 321 SCC) when using AI?**
We detail the technical measures (TOMs) required to use AI without breaching professional secrecy—including private tenant configurations, zero-retention settings, and when only on-premises models are appropriate.

**Q: Can AI replace legal judgment?**
No—and this program is designed around that principle. AI handles the mechanical, time-consuming parts. The professional judgment and final sign-off stay with the lawyer.

**Q: Does the program cover Swiss-specific legal research (Fedlex, BGer)?**
Yes. We demonstrate workflows for synthesizing Swiss case law and monitoring Fedlex legislative updates, using AI-assisted research patterns that respect Swiss jurisdiction.

**Q: Which AI tools do you cover—ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot?**
We are tool-agnostic and focus on whichever tools your firm has approved—ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude, or Microsoft Copilot—ensuring they fit your security and compliance environment.

**Q: Is this suitable for both partners and associates?**
Yes. We tailor the content so partners understand governance and ROI, while associates master the daily drafting and research workflows that save the most time.
