Guides
Legal AI guides
These guides explain how to use AI in legal work without losing control of it: how to check a citation an AI gives you, what UK regulators expect of solicitors, where general chatbots fit, and what to ask a vendor before you buy. They are information, not legal advice.
- Check AI legal citationsA five-step checklist for verifying any authority an AI tool cites, with the official UK, EU and German sources to check it against.
- Can solicitors use AI?What the SRA and other UK bodies say about solicitors using AI: allowed, but the solicitor stays accountable for supervision, checking and confidentiality.
- ChatGPT for lawyersWhere a general chatbot such as ChatGPT helps lawyers, where it falls short, and how a legal workspace with sources and tracked changes differs.
- Questions to ask vendorsA vendor-neutral checklist of eight questions to put to any legal AI tool, with how Consilena answers each.
- Claude for legal workHow to use Anthropic’s Claude for legal drafting and review, why it needs checkable sources, and how to connect it to Consilena as an MCP connector.
Also: the legal AI glossary.
How these guides are written
Each guide answers one question directly, then explains the detail. Statements about regulators, courts and other companies link to the source they come from, and every guide shows the date it was last reviewed. Where a guide describes Consilena, it says only what the product does today.
