Your PI insurer is about to ask about AI.
Professional indemnity renewals are where a firm's risk gets priced. As AI-related negligence claims enter the record, proposal forms are starting to ask how your firm governs AI. The firms that can answer with evidence — not intentions — are the ones that renew smoothly.

Why Now
Why insurers are asking about AI this year.
Professional indemnity is where a firm's risk gets priced. AI has changed that risk — and insurers are catching up fast.
AI changes the risk they're pricing
An insurer prices the likelihood of a claim. Ungoverned AI raises it: fabricated citations, unsupervised output and confidentiality slips are new routes to a negligence claim. Insurers are adjusting their questions accordingly.
The claims are already landing
Courts have publicly criticised solicitors and counsel for filing AI-fabricated authorities. Each reported case is a data point insurers factor into how they assess a firm that uses AI.
PI cover is not optional
SRA-regulated firms must carry professional indemnity cover on the SRA's Minimum Terms and Conditions. The renewal conversation is unavoidable — which makes being able to evidence AI governance a commercial advantage, not just a compliance one.
On The Proposal Form
The questions to expect
AI questions are appearing on PI proposal forms the way cyber questions did a decade ago. These are the ones a firm should be ready to answer with evidence.
Does your firm use AI tools in the delivery of legal services?
Which tools, and for what kinds of work?
Do you have an AI policy — and how is it enforced?
Who supervises AI-assisted output before it reaches a client?
How do you verify that AI output is accurate?
What records do you keep of AI use, and could you produce them?
Answer With Evidence
The evidence pack that answers all of it.
Governed AI produces the answers to those questions as a by-product of doing the work — so renewal becomes form-filling, not fact-finding.
A record of every AI-assisted matter
Which tool, who ran it, what was verified, and who supervised it — logged automatically as work happens, not reconstructed at renewal.
Verification you can show
Every citation checked against its primary source, with the pass/fail result on the record. Evidence that AI output was not taken on trust.
A PI insurer evidence pack
A one-click bundle mapping your AI governance to the questions an insurer asks — so the proposal form is a form, not an investigation.

The founder
Built by someone who had to stand behind the system.
LegalAI Space is the work of a founder who spent a decade shipping infrastructure that enterprises had to trust — now turned on the part of legal AI that matters most: governance.
She started LegalAI Space because legal AI had inherited the speed of enterprise infrastructure and none of its accountability.
Daman spent a decade building cloud and AI infrastructure for large enterprises at Microsoft and HPE. The question there was never only “does it run?” but “can you stand behind it?”
Firms were being asked to trust output they could not trace. Her focus is the layer that closes the gap: the rules, the verification, and the record that let a partner sign off with confidence.
