Built by an AI architect.
Built for attorneys.
KeaneAdvisors.AI is a specialized AI governance advisory firm serving small and mid-sized law firms. We are not a general technology consultancy. We do not sell software. We do not recommend tools before governance is defined.
We do one thing: help law firms evaluate their AI posture, design defensible governance frameworks, and deploy AI in ways that can withstand scrutiny from courts, regulators, clients, and malpractice carriers.

Governance is not optional.
It is the only defensible path.
Most small law firms are already using AI — ChatGPT for drafting, legal research tools, document automation, client intake. The question is not whether AI is in your firm. The question is whether its use is documented, supervised, and defensible.
Our mission is to make AI governance accessible and implementable for firms of every size — from solo practitioners to firms of 50 attorneys. We translate the complexity of ABA Model Rules, Formal Opinion 512, and emerging court requirements into practical, structured governance frameworks that real firms can actually build and maintain.
We believe that choosing not to adopt AI after proper evaluation is as valid an outcome as any governance program. What is not valid — what is professionally indefensible — is using AI without evaluation, without documentation, and without oversight.
Supervision, verification, and confidentiality obligations apply to every AI tool in your firm. Undocumented AI use is, by definition, unsupervised AI use.
The AI Governance Phase 0 Assessment evaluates your firm's current posture across 100+ controls mapped to ABA Model Rules. Every engagement begins here. No tools are recommended before governance is defined.
Using your Phase 0 results as the foundation, we design a governance architecture specific to your firm — written policies, supervision protocols, vendor standards, confidentiality safeguards, and documentation requirements.
Governance is implemented into daily operations through controlled, measurable, testable processes. Training, audit trails, and cadenced reassessment ensure your framework stays current as regulations evolve.
Built exclusively for small and
mid-sized law firms.
Every product, framework, and piece of guidance we produce is designed for firms between one and fifty attorneys. We do not serve large firms, general enterprises, or technology companies. Our focus is narrow by design.
A single attorney using AI faces the same professional responsibility obligations as a large firm — with fewer resources to manage them. We make governance achievable at any firm size.
Growing firms adopting AI tools for efficiency face compounding risk as usage expands without oversight. The AI Governance Phase 0 Assessment establishes your baseline before exposure accumulates.
Firms at this scale face institutional governance requirements from malpractice carriers and institutional clients that solo practitioners do not. We build the infrastructure to meet those expectations.
Everything we build is designed
to make governance defensible.
