For Law Firms
A new conversation is happening across the UK: “Does your law firm use AI? And if so, where does our data go?”
Firms that can answer “we use private, on-premise AI; your documents never leave our systems” win that business. Read why high-street firms can’t afford cloud AI.
Uploading client documents to a cloud AI service transfers them to a third party — a disclosure you may not be able to justify.
US-listed AI providers can face US federal access requests regardless of where the data is stored.
Sharing privileged communications with third-party processors can undermine legal professional privilege.
With JD Fortress on your infrastructure, you can put that answer in your client care letter and mean it. Complete on-premises AI guide →

SRA Principle 6 requires effective systems for client confidentiality. Uploading matter files to a public cloud AI is a third-party disclosure many COLPs cannot justify. With on-premises or air-gapped deployment, inference runs on infrastructure you control, so client documents need not leave the firm.
Into your own hardware or private network — not ChatGPT, not Copilot, and not our cloud. We install and support the stack; we do not process your matter files as a SaaS host.
