Why join?
Most lawyers are curious about AI but cautious for the same reason: attorney-client privilege. Article 321 of the Swiss Criminal Code is non-negotiable, and any tool that processes client information brushes right up against it. The real question isn't whether AI is useful, but whether you can use it without compromising your duty of confidentiality.
In this live session, Tano Barth (attorney at Pont-Rouge Avocats and Doctor of Law) and Crystal Dubois (attorney at Bonnard Lawson, member of the Tech team / AI product lead, and AIGP certified) will demonstrate how professional secrecy applies to AI under Swiss law, how to evaluate any tool against Article 321 of the Swiss Criminal Code, and how Silex is designed to uphold this obligation. Hosted by Kyriaki Bongard, co-founder and CEO of Silex, with a live Q&A session.
What you’ll gain:
- How professional secrecy applies to AI tools under Swiss law, and what Article 321 of the Swiss Criminal Code actually requires
- Where the real risks lie: hosting, data retention, model training, and third-party access
- How Silex is designed to respect professional secrecy: Swiss-based hosting, data never used for model training, and queries and documents never stored or accessed
- Answers to your own questions during a live Q&A session with the panel
“We could have waited for artificial intelligence to establish itself in our sector. Instead, we chose to anticipate its adoption and be among the pioneers. Silex enhances both our legal reasoning and the speed of the work we deliver to clients.”
