AI is transforming the way businesses operate—but when it comes to legal matters, how far can you really trust it?

In this episode of Law for Life – The Franklin Solicitors Podcast, Chris is joined in the studio by Tya from the Corporate Services team to unpack the growing role of artificial intelligence in the legal world. From drafting contracts to preparing court cases, AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming increasingly common—but they come with serious risks.

The conversation explores why legal work isn’t just a simple “input and output” process, the dangers of relying on templates or AI-generated agreements, and real-life examples where things have gone badly wrong—including fake case law appearing in court. Tya explains why legal documents require precision, experience, and human judgement, and why even small wording errors can leave businesses exposed.

They also discuss where AI can be useful—such as helping to clarify ideas or summarise instructions—while reinforcing why it should never replace professional legal advice. If you run a business or are tempted to cut corners with legal paperwork, this is an essential listen.

For advice or support, the Corporate Services team at Franklin Solicitors are on hand to help you protect what matters most.
