Report - Beyond Automation: How AI Facilitates More Meaningful Legal Work

In partnership with

AI is no longer a “should we?” question for the legal profession – it is a “how and when?” challenge. The firms winning with AI are not just automating tasks, they are reimagining how legal work gets done, from insight to advice, diligence to delivery.

This report takes you inside that transformation. From tackling incentives that stifle innovation to navigating the build-versus-buy crossroads, to watching forward-thinking partners lead AI adoption, it reveals the tectonic shifts that will define legal services for decades. We explore why the real value of AI lies not in automating tasks, but in reimagining entire workflows – from insight to advice, from diligence to delivery.

It is a candid look at how AI is exposing the true structure of legal work – what is meaningful, what is mechanical and what is mission-critical. You will see how the most progressive firms are treating AI as a strategic lever, measuring success not just in hours saved, but in the quality of outcomes, client experience and competitive positioning.
