The Problem
Associates use AI to draft contracts, research case law, and summarize depositions. Pasting privileged communications into a public AI service can waive attorney-client privilege.
How Pretzel Helps
Pretzel's Legal starter template detects attorney-client privilege markers and SSNs out of the box. Add client-name, matter-number, or filing-keyword detection as custom rules — describe them to the Console AI assistant and approve what it proposes, or write the rules yourself.
- Starter template: privilege markers + SSN detection, active in minutes
- Add client-name or matter-number detection as custom rules
- AI assistant turns a plain-English request into a ready-to-approve rule
- Scope rules to the legal team only
