Report that growth in the litigation department is a priority

Adoption of artificial intelligence emerges as a competitive advantage

It’s not a surprise that generative AI is beginning to make its mark in litigation processes, with half of the study participants noting its use within their firms. Many are still in the early stages of deploying GenAI through integrated case management systems or standalone solutions. But while most are still exploring basic capabilities, there’s a growing sense of urgency.

People are nervous and want to use it because they’re afraid of missing out.
