Data That Never Leaves the Firm: Compliance Considerations Behind the Second-Largest U.S. Law Firm's Self-Built AI Infrastructure
Latham & Watkins, the second-largest U.S. law firm by revenue, was recently reported to have taken a move rarely seen in the legal industry: it has directly purchased Nvidia GPU servers and begun building and fine-tuning its own internal artificial intelligence system. The news was first disclosed by the UK's Financial Times, subsequently confirmed by Bloomberg Law, Law360, and other media outlets, and Latham itself confirmed the fact to the press. Unlike most coverage that focuses on the technological spectacle of "law firms buying chips too," this article aims to discuss another thread driving this decision—data security compliance.

California SB 574: America's First Law Regulating Lawyers' Use of AI
**A Legislation Sparked by "Hallucinations"** Over the past two years, generative AI has rapidly entered the daily work of law firms: drafting documents, searching for cases, and organizing evidence summaries. But behind the convenience, a recurring problem has begun to plague the entire legal industry—AI "fabricating" case law. Lawyers have found that even well-trained, high-performing large models will, in the course of writing, "spout nonsense with a straight face," fabricating cases, citations, and legal bases that appear real but do not exist at all. This phenomenon is called "AI hallucination." According to statistics from legal research institutions, as of early 2026, more than 600 court cases across the United States have involved lawyers submitting documents containing AI-hallucinated citations, and this trend is still accelerating—from a few sporadic cases per month to new cases appearing almost every day.
