Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's a lawyer with a client who confides
About a merger deal he wants to hide
She holds his secrets close, won't let them slip
Attorney-client privilege is her sacred grip
But then another firm wants her expertise
On the same deal that puts her mind at ease
She stops and thinks before she signs the line
Conflicts of interest cross the legal line

[Chorus]
Keep it confidential, keep it clean
Professional responsibility's what we mean
Client first, conflicts checked, duties clear
Ethics guide us year by year
C-P-R - Confidential, Professional, Responsibility
That's our legal liability

[Verse 2]
Tom's building software for the legal trade
He codes with care but mistakes get made
A bug deletes a brief the night before trial
His errors and omissions just went hostile
The client sues for malpractice and more
Professional liability's what insurance is for
But prevention beats protection every time
Quality controls keep us in line

[Chorus]
Keep it confidential, keep it clean
Professional responsibility's what we mean
Client first, conflicts checked, duties clear
Ethics guide us year by year
C-P-R - Confidential, Professional, Responsibility
That's our legal liability

[Bridge]
Document your conflicts database
Screen every client, every case
Privilege logs and ethical walls
When duty conflicts, duty calls
Competence, diligence, loyalty too
These obligations run right through
Every product that we create
Ethics can't afford to wait

[Verse 3]
Building legal tech means double care
Professional standards everywhere
From lawyer-users to the clients they serve
Our platforms must preserve what they preserve
So build with ethics baked into your code
Professional liability's part of the load
When lawyers trust our tools to do their work
From ethical duties we cannot shirk

[Chorus]
Keep it confidential, keep it clean
Professional responsibility's what we mean
Client first, conflicts checked, duties clear
Ethics guide us year by year
C-P-R - Confidential, Professional, Responsibility
That's our legal liability

[Outro]
In legal tech we hold the sacred trust
Professional ethics are a must
C-P-R will guide our way
Professional liability every day
