Professional boundary

PADMA Legal provides legal-intelligence and workflow support only. It does not create a lawyer-client relationship, replace a licensed professional, determine legal rights, predict an outcome, or issue autonomous legal advice. Confidential or client matter data is not accepted in the public demonstration. Production use requires approved authentication, tenant isolation, retention controls, authorized sources, and qualified professional review.
