Studio Legale Salata, in fulfilment of its transparency obligations towards its clients and in compliance with the principles governing the fiduciary relationship between lawyer and client, hereby informs clients that the Firm’s lawyers and collaborators may, in carrying out the professional engagements entrusted to them, make use of online legal databases and artificial intelligence tools as technical support instruments for research, analysis, consultation of sources and the preparation of working materials.
Such use is carried out in accordance with the principle that artificial intelligence systems used within intellectual professions are intended solely to perform instrumental and supporting activities in connection with professional services, while the intellectual work forming the core of the professional service remains predominant.
Information concerning the systems used is provided to clients in clear, straightforward and comprehensive language, with the aim of ensuring full transparency within the professional relationship.
The Firm clarifies that none of these tools replaces the critical judgement, legal assessment, professional responsibility or strategic decision-making of the lawyer entrusted with the matter.
Any activity carried out with the assistance of digital platforms or artificial intelligence systems remains subject to review, supervision and validation by the professional responsible for the engagement.
The use of legal databases and artificial intelligence systems is intended to provide clients with an increasingly accurate, timely and up-to-date professional service. In particular, these tools may be used for:
As part of its professional activities, the Firm uses the following specialist legal databases.
Il Sole 24 Ore – Top24 Diritto AI combines the extensive historical information resources of Gruppo 24 ORE Professionale with advanced semantic search and assisted consultation tools.
It is a particularly valuable resource due to the breadth of its content, the continuous updating of legislative and case-law materials, and its advanced search capabilities, which enable rapid and targeted access to relevant sources.
From a compliance perspective, the Firm particularly values the ability to trace consulted content back to its original sources, thereby promoting both the verifiability and transparency of the analysis process.
Foro Italiano is one of the most authoritative repositories of Italian case law and is used by the Firm to examine precedents in depth and reconstruct the evolution of legal interpretation over time. The breadth of its archive, its academic authority and the continuous updating of its content make it a key reference tool for verifying established judicial approaches and for the systematic analysis of legal issues. Its main strengths therefore lie in the reliability and stability of its documentary resources and in the high technical value of the materials available for consultation.
De Jure, developed by Lefebvre Giuffrè, provides integrated access to legislation, case law, legal scholarship, annotated codes and legal forms through a unified search interface. The Firm particularly values its operational efficiency, resulting from the speed and breadth of its search capabilities, the systematic updating of its databases and the reliability of its sources. It is an essential legal database for ensuring the quality of legal analysis, methodological consistency and full traceability of the materials reviewed.
Redazione Fiscale – La Tribuna provides specialist resources covering tax, social security and employment law matters, and is particularly valuable in contexts requiring timely and precise responses to regulatory developments. The Firm values its continuous specialist updating, its high level of practical usability and its ability to effectively support research and consultation activities in highly technical areas such as finance and taxation. From a compliance perspective, it also represents a valuable resource for monitoring sector-specific sources and the development of their interpretation over time.
The Firm may also use the following artificial intelligence tools selectively and proportionately, depending on the nature of the professional engagement.
Sapient AI, developed by Lefebvre Giuffrè, supports professionals in legal research, analysis and document verification by providing authoritative and verifiable sources, rapid processing and continuously updated information.
Lexroom is a generative AI platform that supports research, analysis and drafting through verified sources, operational efficiency and a strong focus on content quality, while maintaining human oversight over all outputs.
NotebookLM supports the Firm in summarising, analysing and organising documents, offering effective performance when dealing with complex content while placing particular emphasis on confidentiality and data protection.
The Firm clarifies that the use of these tools always takes place under the direct supervision of the professional responsible for the engagement and in full compliance with applicable personal data protection legislation.
In particular, personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, and data subjects are entitled to receive clear information regarding the purposes of processing, the legal basis, the recipients of the data and the methods by which such processing is carried out.
The Firm further confirms that no professional decision is taken exclusively through automated means.
In accordance with European legislation, decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning the data subject, or similarly significantly affect them, are excluded, except where specific statutory exceptions apply.
The lawyer’s professional activity therefore remains personal, accountable and irreplaceable.
Studio Legale Salata has invested in multiple technological and research tools. This makes it possible to critically assess every research result obtained and to verify it through alternative and complementary systems.
The objective is to combine innovation, efficiency, continuous updating and professional rigour, providing our clients with a high standard of service while fully respecting applicable law, confidentiality requirements and the professional duties governing legal practice.
