Your AI Investment Is Making Lawyers Faster

 

AI is compressing billable hours across every practice area. Without a growth strategy, that gained efficiency comes at a hidden price.

Law firms invested heavily in AI in 2025, with technology spending surging 9.7% across the profession. The result? Lawyers are saving an estimated 260 hours per year on routine tasks. But here's the problem most firms haven't confronted: 85% aren't even tracking whether that speed is translating into revenue.

Meanwhile, clients are noticing. Nearly 60% of in-house counsel say they've seen no savings from their outside counsel's use of AI, and 64% of in-house teams expect to rely less on outside counsel altogether as they build their own AI capabilities. The billable hour is under structural pressure, and efficiency alone won't resolve it.

In this eBook, you'll learn why firms with a deliberate AI strategy are nearly four times more likely to see tangible returns, and how the most forward-thinking firms are converting AI-driven speed into stronger client relationships, expanded matters, and new business. You'll also discover the RoAI framework: a new way to measure the full value of your AI investment across Efficiency Growth, Relationship Growth, and Business Growth.
