What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A study of 2,221 lawyers in Victoria found that AI usage in legal practice increased from 37% to 55% over the last year. While AI use is highest in trade practices (85%) and banking and finance (78%), 79% of lawyers reported using consumer chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot. Some lawyers noted that clients using chatbots have increased their workload by requiring corrections of AI errors.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increased adoption of AI in the legal sector suggests changes in professional service delivery and cost structures. Although AI is widely used, only 26% of lawyers reported that its use resulted in lower client fees, indicating that efficiency gains have not uniformly translated into reduced costs for clients.
