Law firms and in-house teams are entering a new kind of relationship.

Technology is changing what clients expect from external counsel and what they can increasingly handle themselves. Questions around AI are becoming more specific, expectations around value are rising and the boundaries between internal and external legal teams are starting to move.

Created by LegalTechTalk in partnership with Legora, The New Dynamic brings together six senior legal leaders to examine what those changes mean for the relationship between law firms and their clients. Their perspectives span everything from technology and collaboration to pricing, competition and the responsibilities each side has to the other.

Through it all, one theme keeps resurfacing: technology may be changing how legal work happens, but trust, accountability and a genuine understanding of the client still determine whether the relationship works.

Across the report:

• How expectations around technology are becoming more demanding and more specific
• Where closer collaboration is working and what continues to get in the way
• How AI is changing conversations around transparency, accountability and value
• Why the client-law firm relationship depends on investment from both sides
• What growing in-house capability could mean for law firms and their competitive position
• How internal and external legal teams could become far more closely integrated
