Privilege is absolute. Once waived, it is irreversible.
A law firm's duty to its clients does not pause when a document is pasted into a model. The moment privileged communications are processed by a third-party AI, privilege is at risk — and privilege, once lost, cannot be recovered. BlackVault™ processes legal documents entirely within your firm, so no privileged information ever contacts a third party.
Your obligation, named.
Absolute and irreversible
Client legal privilege is absolute — and once waived, it cannot be restored. The moment privileged material is processed by a third-party model, privilege is at risk. BlackVault™ keeps every document inside your firm, where privilege is never exposed.
Professional duties
The Legal Profession Uniform Law imposes duties of confidentiality and competence that extend to the tools a firm uses. BlackVault™ is deployed and operated to meet those duties, with the governance documentation to evidence it.
Client information
Client personal information is governed by the Australian Privacy Principles. BlackVault™ processes it within your environment, evidenced by a privacy impact assessment completed before go-live.
Where sovereign AI earns its place.
Begin with an assessment, not a deployment.
You do not need to commit to infrastructure to engage BlackVault™. A fixed-scope AI Readiness Assessment maps where your firm is already exposed to public AI tools, identifies the highest-value matter and practice workflows, and sets out a sovereign roadmap against your professional duties. Sovereign deployment and permanent operation follow when you are ready.
