The firms that will thrive when it comes to the adoption of AI will not be those with the most tools or the most prompts. They will be the ones with clear standards, defined human ownership and a dedicated AI partner able to turn raw generation into reliable, high‑value content.
Despite incredible progress in natural-language reasoning, AI tools still face fundamental limitations when it comes to performing even basic trademark searches. Here are five important reasons why.
Artificial intelligence is changing how legal work is performed. What’s needed is problem-solving optimism, a clinical appraisal of the firm’s capabilities and economic position, and earnest resolve to change before market pressure forces change under duress.
The ethical use of AI should be a prerequisite for the integration of AI into a legal practice. Failure to learn and implement transparency, accountability, and best practices for responsible AI usage prior to employing AI will likely result in ethical and malpractice difficulties.
Artwork created entirely by artificial intelligence without any human involvement does not qualify for copyright protection, lawyers for the U.S. Copyright Office told the U.S. Supreme Court in a filing in in late January.
Newly amended California legislation would set statutory guardrails for attorneys who use generative artificial intelligence to draft legal filings. Senate Bill 574 would codify many of the guidelines for AI use finalized by the state bar’s Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct in 2023.
Artificial intelligence-related disputes have surged to become the top litigation concern for in-house legal teams, displacing intellectual property and breach-of-contract issues.
Organizations are buying technology but failing at transformation. The difference between the 48% that succeed and the 52% that don’t isn’t the software. It’s how they manage the human side of change.
The firms that will thrive when it comes to the adoption of AI will not be those with the most tools or the most prompts. They will be the ones with clear standards, defined human ownership and a dedicated AI partner able to turn raw generation into reliable, high‑value content.
The findings of recent research provide specific best practices to help chart a path forward and assist decision makers in aligning the need for prompt action and adaptation with the integration of safeguards into their evolving workflows. While few, if any, have unlocked the true potential of generative AI in complex litigation, the tangible benefits and opportunities are becoming clearer.
