Disaster Avoidance Experts

Greetings Decision maker,


Generative AI offers law firms opportunities to improve efficiency and client service, but ethical risks must be carefully managed. For example, several recent cases resulted in fines for lawyers who provided fictitious citations that were obtained through Gen AI. In response, the American Bar Association issued Formal Opinion 512, reinforcing that ethical obligations under the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct remain critical when using Gen AI. Lawyers must ensure accuracy, safeguard client confidentiality, communicate AI use transparently, and uphold reasonable billing practices. Law firms that want to take advantage of AI’s potential must prioritize training, clear policies, and human verification.

Testimonial from Jay Reyes, Chief Counsel at the American Bar Association, for Dr Gleb Tsipursky

“I wanted to thank you for speaking recently at our Spring 2024 National Legal Malpractice Conference. We really enjoyed having you and hearing you discuss proximity bias. It was really a worthwhile event and conversation for our panel who really didn't know a great deal about it or a lot of the implications related to it. We really appreciated all the energy and obvious underlying knowledge that you have related to the topic. All of our panelists really enjoyed hearing from you, our guests enjoyed hearing from you, and we look forward to working with you again.”

What's Up With Me





My wife and business partner, Agnes Vishnevkin, and Iwere making our plans to travel from our hometown of Columbus, Ohio, to visit my parents for my mom’s 75th birthday in New York City. At the same time, she’s been struggling with a period of back pain for the past two months. Her condition fluctuated, but it was worse again in the days leading up to the trip, so I suggested she should skip the trip. She was quite reluctant to do so, because she was concerned that my mother would be upset. I was surprised how hard it was to convince her to agree to stay home.


This is the kind of situation where she and I differ: I tend to think people will understand and forgive, while she is more worried about others’ judgments. Maybe sometimes I underestimate how judgmental people might be, but in this case I think I was right. Sometimes, we need to reduce our concerns about other people’s opinions and focus on our own self-care. Now, that doesn’t mean being a jerk, there has to be a balance, but in this case the balance to me was clearly toward self-care. What do you think should be the balance between self-care and consideration of other people’s feelings?
