Use AI on case files. Keep the file privileged.
Draft, summarise and compare on the real file, with the client, the counterparty and the matter masked before anything leaves your machine.
What you have
Instruct counsel for Marina Folch Moros, NIF 48023306L, in matter M-204817. Balance of EUR 200,000 payable to ES91 2100 0418 4502 0005 1332.
What the assistant receives
Instruct counsel for ⟦PERSON_1⟧, NIF ⟦DNI_NIF_1⟧, in matter ⟦INTERNAL_ID_1⟧. Balance of EUR 200,000 payable to ⟦IBAN_1⟧.
Synthetic. The reply comes back with the tokens in it and the real values are restored on your machine.
- What gets masked
- Client and counterparty names, national identifiers, matter and case references, addresses, contact details and bank details. Amounts stay, because the amount is usually the question.
- The privilege question
- A cloud redaction service has to receive the raw file first, which puts one more third party in the chain. With on-device masking the identifying details never reach anyone, so your confidentiality analysis starts from what was actually disclosed.
- Consistent parties
- Each person keeps the same stand-in through the document, so the assistant can tell the parties apart and the restored draft puts every name back where it belongs.
A modern practice has every reason to use AI and one good reason not to: the text of the work is the confidential part. Banning the tools moves the work to personal phones; allowing them accepts the exposure.
Masking is the fourth option. The assistant reasons about the structure of the matter without seeing whose matter it is.
What detection catches, and what still slips through, is measured and published on the benchmarks page.

Does using AI on masked text waive privilege or confidentiality?
What happens to the mapping between real names and masked tokens?
Can opposing names and client names get mixed up in the reply?
