Fribourg LegalTech Neur.on partnered with European translation leader Legal 230 to offer AI-assisted legal and financial translation.
The Story
Neur.on's data remains hosted in Switzerland, outside the US CLOUD Act, under ISO 27001 certification.
Why It Matters
This partnership shows a path for European law firms to adopt AI tools without compromising client data. Neur.on keeps its data in Switzerland, compliant with GDPR and attorney-client privilege, even with a larger European partner. For managing partners, this means you can explore AI for routine tasks like translation. You avoid the hidden risks of sending sensitive documents to US-controlled servers. This is governed execution, not just experimentation.
What To Do About It
Before signing any AI vendor contract, ask about their data hosting location and compliance certifications. Verify they meet local data protection laws and respect attorney-client privilege. If you are using Microsoft 365, start by reviewing Copilot's data handling policies for your specific tenant configuration.
