As AI continues to evolve, so must our approach to its ethical use in legal practice. The American Bar Association’s Formal Opinion 512 outlines several key ethical responsibilities for lawyers including: Competence: Understand AI’s capabilities, limitations, and biases. Confidentiality: Protecting client information is paramount. Informed Consent: Inform clients about AI use and its risks/benefits. Verification: Do not rely on AI-generated content; verify it. Supervision: Oversee AI use by staff and establish clear policies. Fees: Ensure AI-related billing is reasonable and transparent. Questions about using AI in your practice? Call the Hotline, 800-227-4111. #LegalTech #EthicalAI #AIEthics #AIInLaw

Ohio lawmakers introduced SB 217 in 2024, which if passed would require all AI-generated content to be watermarked. The watermarking rules could have legal implications for attorneys using generative AI tools. The bill is currently in Senate Committee. Be sure to monitor its progress and prepare for potential changes. #OhioLaw #AIEthics #LegalTech #AIInLaw

In a recently closed claim, an attorney faced allegations related to filing joint tax returns for a client and the client’s then wife. Following their divorce, the spouse claimed the attorney had represented both parties and should have acted to protect her from unpaid tax liability. To avoid a similar situation, be sure to clearly define your client relationship. Ambiguity in representation can lead to costly claims. Our continuing series on recently closed claims is designed to help attorneys avoid similar pitfalls in the future. If you have questions about a possible claim, call the Hotline. We can help! #TaxLaw #LegalEthics #ContinuingEducation #ClaimsPrevention

In a recently closed claim, the insured liquidated an IRA rather than preserving its ability to be converted into an inherited IRA. This resulted in immediate taxation of the funds, eliminating the potential for continued tax-deferred growth through investment. To avoid mistakes when acting as fiduciary, it’s important to fully understand the tax implications of estate assets. Ensure that you fully evaluate consequences, including tax consequences, to the extent possible and evaluate beneficiaries’ long-term interests. If you have questions, call OBLIC. We’re here to help! #EstatePlanning #InheritedIRA #OBLIC
