In-house legal teams report using AI to speed up routine tasks and free time for strategy. They deploy general models like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot and legal tools like CoCounsel. Some have built custom chatbots such as Ask Elisabeth and Connie for policy checks and document review. Teams also use AI agents for horizon scanning and administrative tasks. Concerns include governance, data retention and output validation. External counsel are asked to disclose their AI tool use for transparency. Some firms reduce trainee intake due to AI efficiency. Others argue against cutting juniors to avoid future skill shortages. Guardrails are being built as adoption accelerates. Zero data retention is requested to prevent model training on company data. Shadow AI use is a growing risk. Environmental impact is an open question.
