We use AI and we use it well.
AI is a tool. We direct it, a qualified lawyer reviews it, and we explain how we use it with the same transparency we apply to our fees.
§ 1
Deploy & Disclose
Two verbs. Deploy & Disclose.
Our AI policy fits in two words, and the nod to Dungeons & Dragons is deliberate.
§ 2
Invented case law
The opposite of inventing case law.
In 2026 the High Court of the Canary Islands fined two lawyers for appeals built on case law an AI had invented and nobody checked. We use it for the opposite. This is what it sounds like.
§ 3
What we use it for
What we use it for. Almost everything.
The full inventory. The AI proposes, prepares, cross-checks and warns; the lawyer directs, decides and signs.
Kaizen: Lean powered by AI.
We work Lean and we believe in continuous improvement. AI is what allows a two-lawyer firm with no staff and no phone line to offer fixed fees, controlled deadlines and verified filings. Every week we adjust the set-up, keep what works and drop what adds nothing. It runs at full capacity, and that capacity becomes a level of quality that would otherwise be frankly out of reach.
§ 4
What it never does
What AI never does at PASSAS.
The blog: written by us, with AI or without it. Always signed.
Some articles we write from start to finish; others we draft with AI from our own outline, sources and judgement. The AI does not pick the topic or the argument. Every piece is reviewed and signed, and we are its first readers: publishing is the proof that we do not stand still.
§ 5
Your data
Your data. The team and its safeguards.

Questions
What almost nobody dares to ask
Can a lawyer use artificial intelligence?
Yes. What a lawyer cannot do is stop supervising it.
Neither the AI Act nor the Spanish Bar's Code of Conduct bans AI in legal practice. What they require is AI literacy (Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), transparency where it applies, and a lawyer who answers for every filing. The Canary Islands High Court made it clear in 2026: the penalty comes when nobody checks what the tool produces.
What does Deploy & Disclose mean?
Deploy AI thoroughly, and say how we use it.
It is our AI policy in two verbs, and the nod to Dungeons & Dragons is deliberate. Deploy: we bring it into everything that improves quality and control. Disclose: we publish it here and flag on the blog which articles were drafted with AI, before any rule requires us to.
Can I ask you not to use AI on my matter?
No. If you would rather have a firm without AI, this is not your firm.
We say it with respect and for consistency, just as we do not take phone calls. This is how we work, and it is what lets us offer fixed fees and a quality two lawyers could not sustain without these tools. What you can always ask is for us to explain which tools were involved in your file and how.
Do you comply with the AI Act?
Yes, and ahead of its deadlines.
We are deployers of general-purpose AI systems, with literacy and transparency obligations. Content we publish with AI assistance goes through human review and editorial responsibility, which exempts it from Article 50 labelling; we flag it anyway. We also comply with the GDPR and the professional rules of the Spanish Bar, and we hold our own firm to the same standard we audit in our clients'.
Was this page written by an AI?
With AI assistance, under our direction. Like part of what we publish.
The outline, the argument and the sources are ours; the drafting was done with AI and we reviewed all of it. The case data and every legal statement have been verified. Last reviewed: September 2026.
