This Legal Disclaimer explains the status of Natural & Artificial Intelligence in Law, professional website of Matthew Lee, the limits of reliance on its articles and reports (which includes trackers and databases) and the correction process for inaccurate or unfair material. The site provides general legal information and promotional material only. It is not legal advice. Readers should verify cases, quotations, citations, legal propositions and factual statements against the underlying primary sources before relying on them.
Purpose & Regulatory Status
This site hosts law‑focused articles and reports and forms part of my promotional communications as a self‑employed barrister regulated in England & Wales (ALS Insuring Clause 2). It is general information only and is published to promote my professional practice.
Ad / Marketing communication
This website and all publications on it (including posts, trackers, newsletters, audio and video) form part of the marketing of my self‑employed barrister practice. Publications are law‑focused articles or reports providing general legal information and opinion only. They are not legal advice.
No retainer; no reliance; no duty of care.
Reading this website, subscribing, commenting, or contacting me via this website or social media does not create a barrister–client relationship. You must not rely on any publication as advice on a specific matter. No duty of care is assumed to any person in respect of the content. If you act, or refrain from acting, in reliance on any publication, you do so at your own risk. Nothing on this site is legal advice for your specific circumstances, and reading it or contacting me does not create a retainer, a duty of care, or a barrister‑client relationship.
Instruction Routes (no Public/Direct Access)
I am not authorised for Public (Direct) Access and do not accept instructions from members of the public. I accept instructions from professional clients (e.g., solicitors) and Licensed Access clients only. All instructions are taken via my clerks at Doughty Street Chambers:
Do not send confidential or time‑sensitive information via this website or social media. No message is treated as confidential, privileged or prioritised until a retainer is agreed through my clerks. No responsibility is accepted for unsolicited materials.
Accuracy, Updates, AI Use and Sources
Publications on this site, including all articles and reports (which include trackers, databases, summaries and linked materials etc) are prepared with care from public sources and are subject to human editorial review before publication. However, they are not a substitute for checking the underlying primary materials.
Public sources, case-law databases, court and tribunal pages, linked documents, search tools and AI-assisted research or drafting workflows may contain errors, omissions, broken links, outdated material, transcription errors, incorrect summaries, duplicate entries, misclassifications, inaccurate citations, or hallucinated or otherwise inaccurate legal references.
Where AI tools are used to assist with research, drafting, checking, formatting or website administration, the resulting material remains subject to human review. However, no review process can guarantee that every error has been identified. Readers should verify any case, quotation, citation, date, procedural history, legal proposition or factual statement against the cited primary source before relying on it.
No representation or warranty is given that any publication is complete, accurate, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. Content may be updated, corrected, amended or removed without notice. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or restricts liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
