## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial Property & Leasing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-property-and-leasing.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each conclusion in the report, the document it cites, and whether that document is in the file. Mark a citation that has no document beside it. Do not replace the conclusion with a new one. |
| What the lawyer must review | ABA Formal Opinion 512 (29 July 2024) requires a competent lawyer to review generative-tool output before anyone relies on it. The amount of review depends on the task and on prior testing. Model Rule 1.1 Comment 8 requires understanding the benefits and risks of the technology used. A lease longer than one year still needs the writing in California Civil Code § 1624(a)(3). You accept or reject each conclusion. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List each conclusion in the report, the document it cites, and whether that document is in the file. Mark a citation that has no document beside it. Do not replace the conclusion with a new one.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Client information relating to the representation must not go into a public tool. Model Rule 1.6 was the confidentiality rule opened with Opinion 512.
- A missing source is a gap in the report. It is not a finding that the fact is false.
