AI training for law firms
Training and a written pack for firms the SRA regulates.
What the rule says
On 17 August 2026 the SRA published a warning notice, Misuse of AI. It says solicitors remain accountable for the work and advice they deliver, whether or not AI was used to prepare it. It also says client information should only be entered into an AI system where appropriate contractual, technical and organisational safeguards are in place. "Should" is the notice's word. The notice is aimed at firms and individuals the SRA regulates.
The notice, and the court reminder it describes, also make the companion point: lawyers remain responsible for AI-assisted legal work and must verify legal authorities and citations. Your own files, not the model, are what a supervisor signs.
The AI competence pack
The AI competence pack pairs practical capability with safeguards for client information and legal work:
- Firm AI use policy, drafted for COLP sign-off
- Research safeguards: what AI may and may not touch
- Hands-on training for fee earners and support staff
- Designed to support continuing competence records
The published starting price is £1,950. Continuing competence records are supported with documentation for each attendee. The SRA's own rules decide what you log.
