The speed of generative AI is undeniable, but the liability of unmanaged AI use is severe. TrebSec sits on your side of the table: vendor-neutral advice on choosing, vetting, and governing AI tools, with human-in-the-loop rules that keep your firm in control of its data.
Three failure modes account for most of the damage we see when professional firms adopt AI tools without governance.
When junior staff paste sensitive case files into public consumer AI tools, that data can be retained and used for model training, putting attorney-client privilege at risk.
Autonomous AI workflows without proper guardrails will generate factually incorrect citations or financial summaries, exposing partners to malpractice and client harm.
Building your firm's workflows around a single proprietary AI provider, on terms you have not read, prevents you from pivoting when newer, more secure, or cheaper models emerge.
TrebSec is an independent AI advisory practice. We do not sell AI software and we do not take vendor commissions, so the advice is about your risk, not a product quota.
Bring the vendor's terms, privacy documentation, or architecture sheet. We look at how long the vendor keeps your data, whether they train their models on it, and whether that promise is in the contract or only in a settings page. We also check the sub-processors, who at the vendor can access your data, and whether your data is deleted when the contract ends.
We help you set plain, written rules: which tools are approved, what data may never be pasted into them, and where a human must review output before it reaches a client. That includes an acceptable AI use policy your firm can actually enforce.
We help you identify where AI genuinely saves time, transcript summarization, document drafting, research, and where it does not belong, then sequence adoption so each step has a named human reviewer and an audit trail.
