Frequently Asked Questions


What does it mean that RSE is an ‘AI-first’ law firm?

We leverage advanced AI tools to enhance our attorneys’ work – from quickly analyzing documents to predicting legal risks. However, every recommendation and decision is still vetted by our seasoned lawyers. AI-first means more efficiency and insight for you, without compromising on quality or judgment.

How do you ensure confidentiality and security when using AI?

Protecting client confidentiality is our foremost priority. Our AI platforms are secure and compliant with privacy laws. We never expose your sensitive data to any external system without safeguards. In fact, we often use proprietary or locally hosted AI solutions to keep your information secure. All outputs are reviewed under attorney-client privilege.

What types of matters can RSE handle? Is AI only useful for certain cases?

We handle a full range of corporate and litigation matters. AI is a tool we apply where it adds value – for example, large contract reviews, e-discovery in litigation, intellectual property analysis, regulatory monitoring, etc. For bespoke legal advice or courtroom advocacy, you still have experienced lawyers by your side. Think of AI as our efficiency booster, allowing us to focus more time on strategy and counsel. Whatever your legal need – be it drafting a complex agreement or navigating new AI regulations – our team is equipped to assist.

Do your fees differ from traditional firms because of your AI usage?

We generally operate on similar fee structures (hourly or flat fee) as traditional firms, but our efficiency means we can often deliver more value for the cost. By reducing tedious manual work, we spend more time on high-level legal analysis. This often translates into cost savings or more predictable fees for our clients. We’re happy to discuss alternative fee arrangements that benefit from our tech-driven approach.
