Pitfalls to watch at work

Copilot in Word

Compare two versions of a contract with Word's built-in Compare and ask Copilot to explain the changes found: on its own it misses some edits
Rewriting in a different tone also changes the content: after Rewrite, check amounts, dates and party names against the original
In the business version Copilot may pull a passage from someone else's document you have access to: check the sources in the answer

Harvey

Harvey's legal sources are strongest for the US and the UK, and its knowledge of other jurisdictions is limited: check provisions in the official sources
Check case and statute references against the primary source before they go into a client document
The contract with the vendor must state that client documents are never used to train the model
