AI and Legal Disclaimer

MatterLynx is a technology service operated by Joule Studios, LLC. MatterLynx and its AI-assisted features do not provide legal advice, legal representation, professional opinions, or a substitute for a licensed lawyer's judgment. Using MatterLynx does not create an attorney-client relationship with Joule Studios, LLC.

AI assistants can misunderstand instructions, omit information, invent facts or citations, use stale information, and propose the wrong action. MatterLynx can also receive incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate data from connected services. You must independently verify every material output.

Your firm remains responsible for client work, professional duties, supervision, competence, confidentiality, privilege, conflicts, deadlines, filings, notices, trust accounting, billing, and record accuracy. Your AI assistant settings control whether it asks before each write or allows writes automatically. Review the target and content before requesting important actions, and confirm completed changes directly in Clio or the applicable system of record.

Using MatterLynx or an AI assistant does not guarantee that information remains confidential or privileged. Your firm must evaluate the provider, plan, privacy and retention settings, client consent, professional rules, and law that apply before sending sensitive information. Use the least information needed for the task.

Do not use MatterLynx as your only docket, calendar, backup, filing, deadline, or emergency system. Do not assume that a missing alert means no action is required. Use independent controls for court dates, statutes of limitation, filing deadlines, client funds, and other high-consequence obligations.

Information sent to Clio, ChatGPT, Claude, or another provider is also governed by that provider's terms and privacy practices. Your firm must decide whether each provider is appropriate for its data, clients, jurisdiction, and professional duties. MatterLynx cannot guarantee the availability, accuracy, security, retention, training practices, or data handling of a third-party service.
