Agenda.

5 min — Why wrappers became the industry default. A short history of the "API plus retrieval" pattern, and the commercial incentives that locked it in.
10 min — Rule 1.6 and ABA Formal Op. 477R. What the rules actually require of a reasonable attorney, what "confidential information" means in the age of model providers, and where third-party processors fit.
10 min — A self-hosted architecture, walked through. Weights on firm-controlled hardware. Retrieval inside the trust boundary. Citation verification before tokens leave the box.
10 min — Three questions to ask any AI vendor. Where does inference run. Who can subpoena the logs. What happens to your data if the vendor is acquired.
10 min — Live Q&A. Bring the contract language you're stuck on. Bring the security review you're negotiating.

What you'll leave with.

A concrete definition of "self-hosted" you can put into an RFP — and a test for vendors who claim it without meeting it.
A plain-English map of Rule 1.6 and Op. 477R obligations as they apply to AI vendors, suitable for a partnership meeting.
Three questions that separate real architectural isolation from marketing language.
A sample security-review checklist Aewita uses with firms, yours to adapt.
Answers to your specific questions during live Q&A.

General Counsel and Managing Partners.

You sign the vendor contracts. You own the Rule 1.6 exposure. This session gives you the technical vocabulary to push back on claims that don't hold up.

Operations

Law firm COOs and IT leadership.

You'll have to implement whatever gets chosen. Come with your current stack and your open security questions — we'll work through them.

Sam founded Aewita to build the self-hosted frontier reasoning model the legal profession actually needs. He holds patent filings on retrieval, inference, and citation-verification methods that let firms run AI without sending client data to a third party. He has spent the last several years working directly with attorneys on what gets in the way of adoption — and what doesn't.
