Pitfalls to watch at work

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

Lavender

The score is tuned to English-language emails for the US market and is unreliable for other languages
The extension reads the mailbox it runs in: turn it off in a mailbox with confidential correspondence
A high score does not guarantee a reply: track your reply rate yourself
