Lawyers love AI, LexisNexis research shows

Six out of ten lawyers now use artificial intelligence (AI) in their day-to-day work (up from 46% in January), according to a LexisNexis UK report, ‘The AI culture clash’

The numbers are likely to keep growing—the report, published this week, found 94% of firms plan to adopt AI (up from 85%) while two-thirds of lawyers want to use AI more.

Those who use it report the benefits of freeing up time both for more billable work and a better work-life balance. In fact, two-thirds of lawyers complained their organisation was too slow to implement AI.

Among those already using AI, more than half (51%) have chosen tools designed specifically for the legal sector—such as Lexis+ AI.

Stuart Greenhill, senior director of segment management at LexisNexis UK, said: ‘Lawyers are proving that AI delivers clear commercial returns.

‘They’re using it to increase billable hours, rethink pricing models, and deliver more value to clients.’
