Main Street AI Compliance · Missouri & Illinois

Your team is already using AI. Is any of it in writing?

Fixed-price AI use policies and team training for owner-operated firms. You get a real policy, a trained team, and the signed paper trail your insurer and your clients now ask for. Done in a week, not six months.

No pitch unless you ask for one. If you are already covered, I will tell you straight.

Why this matters now

The exposure is not the tool. It is using it with no policy and no paper trail.

Insurers are asking

Cyber-liability carriers now ask for a written AI policy at renewal. No policy can mean a denied claim.

Clients are asking

Larger clients are adding AI-use clauses to contracts. No policy can mean a lost bid.

Your profession already decided

The bar and the AICPA already assume you have governance. The standard is simple: did you take reasonable, documented steps?

The three mistakes

Where AI quietly creates risk for a firm like yours

1

No written AI policy

Your staff already use AI. With nothing in writing and no signatures, you cannot show you managed it. The fix is a one-page policy and a signed acknowledgment.

2

The notetaker trap

AI notetakers capture voiceprints. In Illinois that triggers BIPA, with statutory penalties per person. The fix is a consent step and an approved-tools list.

3

Client data into self-learning AI

To the AICPA and under ABA Opinion 512, putting client information into a learning AI without consent is a confidentiality problem. And AI invents citations. The fix is a red-list, the right tools, and human review.

What you walk away with

Three pieces. That is what reasonable steps looks like.

A written policy

Specific to your firm, your tools, and your state.

An approved-tools register

What is allowed, and the data rules for each tool.

A signed acknowledgment

From every team member. The file you hand an insurer, a client, or a regulator.

This is operational governance and training, not legal advice. Adopting a policy demonstrates reasonable, documented steps toward responsible AI use; it does not guarantee compliance with any law. Your own legal counsel should confirm fit before adoption.
