SRA Warning Notice · 17 August 2026
Misuse of AI in legal practice
The SRA has issued a formal warning notice on AI misuse. Firms using generative AI tools without adequate oversight, authorisation policies and human review are in breach of professional obligations.
Agentic AI · The new risk frontier
AI that acts — without asking
Agentic AI systems can access client data, make calls, clone voices and trigger workflows with limited human intervention. The NCSC-NL has published specific guidance on managing agentic AI risk. Do you know what your AI is authorised to do?
Human-in-the-Loop · Governance by design
Accountability can't be delegated to a model
In the absence of clear regulatory structure, the firms that will survive scrutiny are those that have built human oversight into every AI workflow — not bolted it on afterwards. Legally Fond designs those checkpoints.
About Natalie Foster
Now on the outside, fighting for it.
"Natalie Foster on why the legal profession must lead on AI governance — not follow."
Natalie Foster spent two decades navigating FCA and SRA regulated environments — as a practitioner, not a consultant. That means the advice you get is grounded in how law firms actually work, not how they look on a slide deck.
She has advised Managing Partners, boards and legal technology teams on AI risk, governance frameworks and responsible adoption — at a time when the regulatory landscape is moving faster than most firms can track.
Legally Fond exists because the legal profession deserves specialist AI advisory that understands the professional obligations, the client risk and the commercial reality — all at once.
What We Do
Specialist advisory at the intersection of agentic AI, generative model risk, governance and legal operations.
