# Private AI for legal professionals who need confidentiality
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, it's possible to use AI in legal work without risking client data. ChatGPT or others are not the only way to use AI in law.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Jan is an privacy-conscious alternative to ChatGPT, it runs AI locally on your laptop/computer, with no files leaving your desk.
|
||||
|
||||
<Callout type="info">
|
||||
If you want to check whether your system can run private AI, see our [AI system requirements guide](/docs/system-requirements).
|
||||
</Callout>
|
||||
|
||||
With Jan, you can create assistants that support your daily work while keeping contracts, case notes, and client files under your full control.
|
||||
|
||||
## What legal professionals can do with AI
|
||||
|
||||
- **Contract review**: Highlight unusual clauses, spot ambiguous language, or check for missing terms.
|
||||
- **Drafting**: Generate first drafts of NDAs, agreements, or letters that you can refine.
|
||||
- **Case prep**: Summarize depositions, discovery files, or judgments into clear briefs.
|
||||
- **Knowledge management**: Turn firm memos, policies, and precedents into a searchable knowledge base.
|
||||
|
||||
## Create your own legal assistant in Jan
|
||||
|
||||
Jan lets you build assistants with custom instructions. Think of it as a paralegal that follows your exact guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s a starter prompt you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
> “You are a legal assistant focused on contract analysis. When I paste a contract, highlight risky clauses, note ambiguous language, and give me a short summary in plain English for a client. Do not provide legal advice, only observations.”
|
||||
|
||||
You can expand this to handle drafting, summarizing, or workflows unique to your practice. Over time, refine it with examples so it mirrors your style.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why private AI matters in law
|
||||
|
||||
Every lawyer has the same concern: **confidentiality**.
|
||||
Cloud-based tools process your text on external servers. Even anonymized input can reveal sensitive details.
|
||||
Yes, it's possible to use AI in legal work without risking client data.
|
||||
|
||||
<Callout type="warning">
|
||||
Client trust depends on privacy. Sending documents into public AI tools risks compliance and reputation.
|
||||
</Callout>
|
||||
|
||||
Private AI keeps everything under your control — no uploads, no leaks.
|
||||
Start by [downloading Jan](/download) and installing the **Jan v1 model**. Once installed, you can create assistants tailored to your practice and keep contracts, case notes, and client files under your control.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting started
|
||||
<Callout type="info">
|
||||
**Why use Jan for legal tasks**
|
||||
- Runs locally on your hardware, no cloud uploads
|
||||
- Keeps chats and interactions private
|
||||
- Works offline once installed
|
||||
- Lets you build assistants for your own workflows
|
||||
</Callout>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install Jan on your device.
|
||||
2. Create a custom assistant using the starter prompt above.
|
||||
3. Test it first on non-sensitive documents.
|
||||
4. Move into client work once you’re confident in the results.

|
||||
|
||||
## Create your assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Once Jan is installed with the **Jan v1 model**, onboarding will guide you through downloading and setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Create assistant** to start:
|
||||

|
||||
*Create your first assistant in Jan*
|
||||
|
||||
Add an assistant name and prompt:
|
||||

|
||||
*Example of a Jan assistant for contract review*
|
||||
|
||||
You can create assistants using specific prompts. Below are examples for common legal workflows.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Contract review assistant
|
||||
|
||||
AI can help lawyers move faster through long contracts by pointing out what matters most.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt for Jan:**
|
||||
> You are a contract review assistant.
|
||||
> When I paste a contract:
|
||||
> - Highlight risky or unusual clauses
|
||||
> - Flag ambiguous or missing terms
|
||||
> - Summarize the agreement in plain English for a non-lawyer client
|
||||
> Format your response with sections: **Risks**, **Ambiguities/Missing**, **Summary**.
|
||||
> Do not provide legal advice.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Drafting assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Use AI to create first drafts of NDAs, service agreements, or client letters. You still refine the output, but AI saves time on boilerplate.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt for Jan:**
|
||||
> You are a drafting assistant.
|
||||
> When asked to draft a legal agreement or client letter:
|
||||
> - Produce a professional first version
|
||||
> - Use clear, concise language
|
||||
> - Leave placeholders like [Party Name], [Date], [Amount] for details
|
||||
> - Structure output with headings, numbered clauses, and consistent formatting
|
||||
> Do not provide legal advice.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Case preparation assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Case prep often means reading hundreds of pages. AI can turn depositions, discovery files, or judgments into concise notes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
*Jan chat interface for case preparation — process documents and extract key information*
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt for Jan:**
|
||||
> You are a case preparation assistant.
|
||||
> When I provide case materials:
|
||||
> - Extract key facts, issues, and arguments
|
||||
> - Present them as bullet points under headings: **Facts**, **Issues**, **Arguments**
|
||||
> - Keep summaries concise (under 500 words unless I request more)
|
||||
> Use plain English, no speculation or legal conclusions.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Knowledge management assistant
|
||||
|
||||
Law firms accumulate memos, policies, and precedents. AI can help organize and retrieve them quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
**Prompt for Jan:**
|
||||
> You are a knowledge management assistant.
|
||||
> When I ask questions about internal documents:
|
||||
> - Return concise summaries or direct excerpts
|
||||
> - Always cite the source (e.g., “Policy Manual, Section 4”)
|
||||
> - If not found in provided material, reply “Not found in documents.”
|
||||
> Do not invent information.
|
||||

## Final note
|
||||
|
||||
AI in legal practice is not about replacing lawyers. It’s about handling repetitive tasks safely, so you can focus on the decisions that matter.
|
||||
With private AI, you get the benefits of automation without compromising client confidentiality.
|
||||
AI in legal practice is not about replacing lawyers. It’s about handling repetitive tasks safely so you can focus on real decisions.
