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.’
