How ARROWS Uses AI to Enhance Legal Work While Ensuring Accountability

ARROWS, a Prague-based law firm, has been using artificial intelligence for the long term as part of its day-to-day legal work. AI at ARROWS is not intended to replace attorneys, but to serve as a tool that enhances team performance: it speeds up routine steps, improves consistency, supports navigation through extensive documents, and frees up our Czech legal team’s capacity for the highest value-added work – strategy, negotiations, transactions, disputes, and complex decision-making.

The core principle remains accountability. At ARROWS, artificial intelligence is used in a way that strengthens the quality of outputs rather than bypassing it. The final legal conclusion and recommendation are always subject to expert review by an attorney.

“AI is an accelerator of performance for us, not an excuse. The client does not receive an AI answer. They receive the work of an experienced team—just faster, more consistent, and with better control,” says Jakub Dohnal, CEO ARROWS.

AI as part of the process, not a marketing label

ARROWS builds its approach to AI on a simple logic: technology alone is not enough. Real added value arises only when AI is embedded into a specific workflow—with clear rules, roles, checkpoints, and accountability.

The law firm in Prague therefore works with an internal framework for the use of AI, which defines in particular:

• who may use AI and under what conditions,
• for which types of tasks AI is suitable (and for which it is not),
• how the accuracy of outputs is verified,
• where the stop sign is (when AI is not used at all),
• how data confidentiality and client documentation are protected,
• how consistency is maintained across teams and offices.

This approach makes it possible to leverage the speed and scalability that AI offers without lowering professional standards and without the risk of “automated conclusions without accountability”.

Proprietary internal ecosystem of AI assistants: Jarvis 2.0

ARROWS operates an internal ecosystem of AI assistants (Jarvis 2.0) designed to reflect the real-world practice of a law firm in Prague and to support specific legal agendas. This is not ad hoc use of public chatbots, but a system built on internal standards, integrated into the teams’ working routines, and complemented by control mechanisms.

Jarvis 2.0 typically helps, for example, with:

• navigating extensive documents (sorting, structured summaries, extracting key provisions),
• preparing materials for analysis (lists of legal questions, checklists, argument outlines),
• creating management-ready outputs (risk summaries, recommendations, business impacts, next steps),
• preparing due diligence (overview of identified risks, categorisation, proposed mitigations),
• harmonising know-how and faster onboarding (output standards, internal methodologies),
• reusing and organising internal knowledge across teams and branches.

The goal is to shorten the time from assignment to the first high-quality output—while also increasing consistency, which is crucial in complex projects.

Where AI delivers the greatest impact in practice

ARROWS sees AI as a tool that helps most in areas where large volumes of information need to be processed and quickly converted into decision-ready outputs.

Typical situations:

1. Project kick-off and rapid orientation
   When a client sends extensive documentation, AI speeds up the first pass: what matters, where the risks are, what is missing, and what needs to be added.
2. Clear outputs for management
   AI helps translate legal content into a form usable for company leadership: concise, structured, with impacts and recommendations.
3. Consistency across teams
   In large transactions, disputes, or compliance projects under Czech legislation, consistent structure and terminology are essential. AI supports uniform output quality and working methodologies.
4. Reducing routine workload
   AI shortens routine parts of the work (first drafts of structures, checklists, summaries) so that senior capacity can focus more on strategy, negotiations, and decision-making.

Security, confidentiality and control: essential conditions

ARROWS emphasises that the AI approach must be set up to be compatible with attorney–client privilege, the confidentiality of client information, and standards of professional responsibility under the Czech legal system.

The firm therefore relies on the following principles:

• minimal data sharing and handling information proportionately to the purpose,
• attorney review of the output as a mandatory step,
• clear definition of use depending on the type of matter and risk level,
• internal standards for what AI may and may not do.

“Anyone can launch a chatbot. The difference is when you turn it into a process. We have integrated AI so that it increases performance and consistency—but never reduces accountability. That cannot be outsourced,” adds Jakub Dohnal.

What this means for clients: speed, clarity, better value for money

For clients, this approach delivers specific benefits:

• faster response times and a faster first deliverable,
• clearer materials for decision-making (risks, recommendations, next steps),
• greater consistency in large-scale projects,
• more efficient collaboration across specialist teams,
• better value for money thanks to senior capacity being focused on value.

AI at ARROWS is therefore not an end in itself—it is a means for the firm to deliver legal services in the Czech Republic that are fast, clear, and business-ready.
