Your Attorneys Are Already Using AI. Your Governance Hasn't Caught Up.
CounselRisk is an AI governance framework for U.S. law firms, supplied as a set of policy documents and operational tools. It gives firms a structured starting point covering permitted and prohibited AI use, confidentiality, verification, oversight and internal decision-making, instead of drafting policies from scratch. It is aimed at midsize firms that have AI use under way but no documented governance, and it is structured around ABA Model Rules and Formal Opinion 512.

The framework has 16 core policy sections covering purpose, definitions, risk classification, permitted use and confidentiality, responsibility and verification, and disclosure, ethics and oversight. It also includes 12 operational appendices, such as an approved AI tools register, a prohibited list, an intake form, an incident report, a use-decision tree, a disclosure decision worksheet, a verification record, a governance charter and RACI, and a 60-day adoption roadmap. Documents are delivered in PDF and editable Word. The Implementation Sprint is a 30-day engagement in which CounselRisk builds and operates the governance machinery with the firm. Scope includes AI-use discovery, a tool inventory, an Approved/Conditional/Prohibited register, a verification standard, an approval workflow for new tools and uses, and a leadership handover. Jurisdiction-specific legal conclusions remain with the firm and its counsel, and the service is described as operational consulting, not legal advice. Sample versions of the Approved AI Tools Register and Completed Verification Record are published on CounselRisk's website, using fictitious firms and invented matters. The framework is described as built around ABA Model Rules and the professional responsibility obligations that govern legal practice. Its founder, Atta Baloch, is named as an enterprise AI solution architect. The framework includes 12 months of updates from purchase.

FAQs
The governance framework is priced at $297 and includes 12 months of framework updates. The AI Governance Implementation Sprint starts from $3,500, with a founding rate of $2,250 for active participation and candid feedback. The Sprint is paid $1,125 to commence and $1,125 at leadership handover. Before the Prompt, a seven-step decision guide, is a free download.
The framework is designed for U.S. law firms with 20 to 100 attorneys that have no documented AI governance framework. It suits firms with multiple practice groups and oversight layers. Solo practitioners and firms under 10 attorneys may be better served elsewhere. Managing partners, firm counsel and legal operations staff are named as reviewers.
The framework is delivered as PDF and editable Word files for internal review and circulation. The Sprint does not need access to client files, matter content, privileged material or the firm's document management system. Firms share tool inventory, practice mix, current policies and client guidelines instead.
Detailed assessment answers stay in CounselRisk's first-party storage and are never shared or resold, according to CounselRisk's website. Confidentiality, data-handling and delivery terms for the Sprint are set out in the engagement letter. The Sprint is designed to run without client files or privileged material. CounselRisk is operated by QbitBrains LLC.
The framework is delivered immediately in PDF and editable Word for internal review, customisation and leadership discussion. The Sprint runs over 30 days with three working sessions, including kickoff and leadership handover, with the rest asynchronous. Scope covers up to about 25 tools, with one revision round per document set.
