As with many things AI, a new study shows big changes on the horizon, with incremental movement in the current day-to-day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A survey of law department professionals by Everlaw and the Association of Corporate Counsel titled \u201cGenerative AI\u2019s Growing Strategic Value for Corporate Law Departments\u201d reveals that most organizations (61%) are \u201csomewhat\u201d or \u201cvery\u201d likely to push back on law firm pricing models.<\/p>\n

But 59% report being unaware of whether their law firms are currently using GenAI for their matters, and 80% are not currently encouraging or requiring their firms to use the technology.<\/p>\n

Law departments\u2019 own use of the technology, meanwhile, has more than doubled in the past year, allowing in-house counsel to take on more work themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cMomentum is building against the billable hour,\u201d Everlaw\u2019s Petra Pasternak writes in a summary of the report. \u201cFirms that connect GenAI-enabled efficiency to fair, transparent pricing will differentiate themselves as modern, client-first partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The data draws on responses from 657 in-house professionals in 30 countries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
