AI is fast becoming part of everyday legal work. From drafting, summarising, and performing research, AI can save valuable time, but it doesn’t shift responsibility.
Regulators have been clear that when legal professionals use AI tools, including large language models (LLMs), practitioners remain accountable for accuracy, confidentiality and professional obligations. We’ve already seen what can happen when verification slips:
-
In 2025, a Victorian murder case was delayed after submissions contained fabricated quotes and non-existent citations. (ref: here)
-
In 2024, a family law solicitor faced practising restrictions after filing a list of fabricated cases generated by AI. (ref: here)
With these cases in-mind, it’s essential that legal practitioners keep confidential/privileged information out of public AI tools, always verify citations, quotations and references before submissions are filed, and perform independent reviews of all AI generated work as a safeguard.
AI & your International Payments Workflows:
AI can provide law firms and conveyancers with a substantial uplift in efficiency when it comes to international payments and FX workflows. However, maintaining security and compliance must be a key consideration, as while AI offers meaningful benefits, it isn’t without its risks:
-
Benefits: Drastically reduced manual data entry, faster bank reconciliations, and the ability to spot cash-flow trends in real-time.
-
Risks: Automated systems can be vulnerable to ‘hallucinations’, and susceptible to sophisticated AI-driven fraud and Business Email Compromise (BEC) – mimicking legitimate payment instructions.
