Atka & Partners (“we,” “our,” “us”) is committed to responsible, ethical, and transparent use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our work. This policy explains how we use AI tools, how we protect your information, and how we ensure full transparency in our billing and practices.

We believe in human-led, AI-assisted advisory, never replacing expert judgment with automation.

1. Who We Are

Atka & Partners is a boutique law and strategic consultancy based in the United Kingdom (under the registered name ARC Law Limited with registration number 13671850 and registered address at 17 Green Lanes, London, England, N16 9BS), advising entrepreneurs, investors, family offices, and innovative businesses across borders.

2. Our Principles

We follow these guiding principles in any use of AI:

• Consent First: We will never use AI tools to process, review, or draft content using your confidential or trade information without your explicit prior consent.

• Confidentiality by Design: We do not share client data with public AI systems or any platform that risks data exposure.

• Transparency: Any use of AI in your matter will be clearly documented and communicated.

• Human Oversight: All AI outputs are reviewed and validated by our legal team. No AI output is relied on without human verification.

• Billing Fairness: AI-assisted work is not billed at the same rate as human advisory hours and is clearly itemised on your invoice.

3. When We Use AI

We may use AI tools for:

• Research & knowledge synthesis (e.g., summarising case law or regulations).

• Drafting support (e.g., preparing first-draft documents, notes, or templates).

• Data structuring & analysis (e.g., reviewing large sets of anonymised or non-confidential information).

We do not use AI for:

• Making legal judgments or decisions.

• Processing confidential client data without written consent.

• Generating final client-ready deliverables without human oversight.

4. Your Choices

• Opt-Out: You may decline any use of AI in your matters.

• Full Disclosure: If AI tools are used, we’ll inform you about how and why.

• Itemised Billing: AI-supported work will be separately shown on your invoice and will reflect reduced billing compared to human-only tasks.

5. Data Security

• All AI use is conducted through secure, enterprise-grade platforms with contractual data protection measures.

• No confidential or trade-sensitive information is input into public AI models.

6. Questions or Concerns

If you have any questions about our AI usage practices or want to opt out of AI-assisted work, please use the contact form.

Why This Matters

We know that AI can help us work faster and smarter, but only if it’s used with integrity, transparency, and human accountability. Atka & Partners is proud to lead in creating legal frameworks and setting responsible standards for AI use in professional services.
