Corporate legal AI adoption jumped from 23% to 52% in one year, with 64% of in-house teams now planning to depend less on outside counsel as Thomson Reuters CoCounsel and Epiq AI ship agentic workflows.
Why It Matters
If you run a mid-market law firm in Europe, your clients are now automating the work you bill hourly. Contract review, legal research, and routine drafting are the first to move in-house with agentic tools already shipping in early 2026.
What To Do About It
Stop defending the billable hour. Price outcomes. I help boutique firms pick what to automate and what to reposition as premium advisory. Book a call before clients renegotiate.
