The New York City Bar Association released a presidential task force report providing practical guidance for lawyers and the judiciary on navigating attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine issues in the context of generative AI. The report analyses the third-party doctrine and advises lawyers on proactive client counselling regarding generative AI use.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must update your client counselling to address AI use risks now that the NYC Bar sets clearer privilege rules for generative AI. Lawyers ignoring these guidelines risk losing confidentiality protection.
