The Closet Adopters
Not a product category — a behavior. Lawyers quietly pasting client matter into ChatGPT or Claude with no governance, no audit trail, and real confidentiality exposure. The Heppner-style settlements show the cost. HAQQ makes AI use safe, governed and defensible.

What are 'closet adopters'?
Firms and lawyers using consumer AI tools on client work informally and in secret, without firm policy, governance or an audit trail.
Why is shadow AI use risky?
Pasting privileged client data into a consumer chatbot can breach confidentiality, may expose data to training, and leaves no defensible record — risks that have already produced settlements.
How does HAQQ make AI use safe?
HAQQ keeps client data private and out of training, enforces jurisdiction, ties every action to a matter with an audit trail, and offers on-premise deployment, so AI use is governed and defensible.
