Why this matters
This firm is putting structure around firm-wide AI use. A meaningful marker of where the firm's capability is heading.
Simmons & Simmons published an AI and Legal Privilege Guide and Policy Framework addressing privilege-waiver risk from AI use, citing the UK case UK v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2026] UKUT 81 (IAC). Intended as a practical policy template for clients and internal use.
"This is not just a guide, it is a practical policy template. — Minesh Tanna, Partner. Recent cases show that privilege can be lost if AI is used without proper safeguards. — Peter Lee, Partner"
