Sidebar AI — Legal Disclaimers

Effective date: May 23, 2026

The following disclaimers apply to your use of Sidebar AI. They are also referenced throughout the Platform and in our Terms of Service and Privacy Statement.

The essentials

Sidebar AI is a technology platform. Sidebar AI does not provide legal services.
Lawyers in Sidebar AI’s network are independent attorneys, not employees.
Lawyer engagement fees are separate and set by the lawyer you choose.
Sidebar AI does not guarantee any legal outcome or attorney-client privilege.
Outputs from AI models are not legal advice and may not be accurate.

About the Platform

Sidebar AI is a technology platform. Sidebar AI is not a law firm and does not provide legal services, legal advice, or representation. Legal services on Sidebar AI are provided directly by the independent lawyer you choose, under that lawyer’s own engagement letter. Lawyers in Sidebar AI’s network are independent attorneys, not employees of Sidebar AI. Sidebar AI’s subscription fee covers the technology platform only and does not include legal fees, which are separate and set by the lawyer you engage. Sidebar AI does not guarantee any specific legal outcome or that any communication is protected by attorney-client privilege.

AI outputs

AI Outputs may be inaccurate. They are not legal advice. Talk to your lawyer.

Privilege

Whether a particular conversation is protected by attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or any other legal protection is a fact-specific legal determination and depends on the matter, the jurisdiction, and the lawyer involved. Sidebar AI cannot answer this question for you. Sidebar AI can connect you with a lawyer from the network, you can add your own lawyer, or both. Your lawyer can advise you on how privilege applies to your specific situation.

Work beyond the workspace

If you need work beyond what’s covered in the workspace — drafting, representation, ongoing counsel — you can hire your lawyer directly. That arrangement is between you and your lawyer. Sidebar AI is the workspace, not the relationship.

How it works

When you select a lawyer from Sidebar AI’s network or invite your own, that lawyer engages you directly under their own engagement letter. Sidebar AI is not a party to that engagement and does not provide legal services.
