At the recent Clio Cloud Conference in Austin, Texas, Clio released its ninth annual Legal Trends Report, a report that uses both survey responses and anonymized data from Clio users to paint a picture of key trends in law practice and legal technology.

This year’s report has some intriguing findings on lawyers’ adoption of AI and the types of tasks within a law office that could be automated using AI.The survey also looks at trends in hourly and flat fee billing, and includes the results of a “secret shopper” study of lawyers’ responses (or, more accurately, non-responses) to inquiries from potential clients.

To discuss all of this and more, Joshua Lenon, Clio’s lawyer in residence and one of the principal authors of the report, sat down live with LawNext host Bob Ambrogi during the conference. Here is their conversation.

Note that we have already posted two other LawNext episodes recorded live at ClioCon, one with Clio’s founder and CEO Jack Newton, and another with what we called the “Clio Power Trio” of Clio’s COO Ronnie Gurion, CFO Curt Sigfstead, and board member and investor Mark Britton.
