Governance & Compliance
AI is already in your firm. The question is whether anyone's thought about it.
Fee earners are using AI tools. Some have been approved. Many haven't. Client data may have been shared with systems that weren't designed to handle it. The SRA has published guidance. The ICO has expectations. And the gap between what firms are doing and what they should be doing is real.
Thinkwild's Governance & Compliance practice helps law firms close that gap — practically, without over-engineering it. We work specifically in the legal sector. We understand the SRA's framework, what good looks like at SME firm scale, and how to build governance that actually gets used.
The problems we see most often
Governance and compliance issues are rarely dramatic at first. More often, they show up as uncertainty, inconsistent practice, and a lack of control over how technology is being used across the firm.
No clear AI policy
Nobody in the firm can clearly describe the AI policy because there is not a clear one in place.
Unapproved AI use
Fee earners are using AI tools the firm has not approved, reviewed, or governed.
Guidance not actioned
You know the SRA has issued guidance on AI, but the firm has not had time to turn it into action.
Outdated Cyber review
The last cybersecurity review was informal, outdated, or both.
Governance accountability
If asked, the COLP or compliance lead would struggle to describe the firm’s AI governance clearly.
Data privacy risk
Client or personal data is being entered into AI tools without clear UK GDPR guidance or controls.
