As a modern law firm specialised in labour law, we value technological advancement, provided it aligns with our core values: integrity, expertise, and confidentiality. This AI policy provides insight into how we at Pallas Advocaten B.V. handle the use of artificial intelligence (AI) within our services.

Article 2 – Purpose and Scope
This policy outlines the principles and safeguards regarding the use of AI applications within our office, considering applicable laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Code of Conduct for Lawyers, and (future) European regulations such as the AI Regulation.
Article 3 – Use of AI in Practice
AI is used within our office as a supporting tool for legal analyses, document formatting, internal process optimization, and risk assessments. AI never replaces the legal judgment of a lawyer. Every outcome related to the legal services that is produced with the help of AI is assessed by a qualified lawyer for accuracy, relevance, and applicability.

The use of AI takes place under strict supervision of our lawyers. The ultimate responsibility for the content, quality, and legal correctness of all the advice, legal documents, and documents we provide always rests with our lawyers.
Article 5 – Confidentiality and data protection
We do not process personal data or confidential information of clients in open, publicly accessible AI systems. If AI systems are used, this occurs solely within secure environments that meet the highest standards in information security.
Client data is only used in AI systems if:
- the processing takes place within a closed and controlled system, and
- the data has been processed in a pseudonymous or anonymous manner unless explicit consent has been obtained.
Article 6 – Quality assurance and continuous evaluation
We monitor the technological and legal developments related to AI and train our employees accordingly. In addition, we evaluate the use of AI within our office periodically and adjust this policy if required by legislation, the state of the technology, or our professional rules.
Article 7 – Final provisions
By adopting this AI policy, we ensure that technological innovation goes hand in hand with legal diligence. Our clients can trust that the use of AI will never compromise the confidentiality, independence, or quality of our services.
