What comes after efficiency? The next phase of AI adoption for law firms

What Is a Clause Library, and Why Don’t Lawyers Use Theirs?
Your firm has already written its best clauses. Finding them at 11:00 PM is another matter. The short answer: A clause library is a curated collection of a law firm’s approved contract language, such as standard positions, fallbacks, and definitions. Lawyers often don’t use theirs because it sits outside the drafting workflow and holds only part of the firm’s negotiated...

AI Isn’t Shrinking Your Revenue. Your Write-Offs Already Did.
The profession of law is starting to recognize an uncomfortable truth: much of the time AI saves was never going to be billed in the first place. Thomson Reuters has said as much, and early studies point the same way. But knowing this in general is very different from knowing it at your firm. Which activities, which timekeepers, and which clients carried those write-offs...

How Can Lawyers Redact Sensitive Information Before an Email Leaves? Introducing Redact in the Litera Platform
A client’s account number, a settlement figure, a witness’s home address: once the email is sent, none of it is coming back. The short answer: Lawyers can redact sensitive information before an email leaves by redacting attachments inside Outlook, at the moment of sending, instead of in a separate PDF editor.

Your Biggest AML Risk Isn’t a Missed Check. It’s an Outdated Template.
Why This Matters Now The regulator changed one rule. You have to change hundreds of documents. On 30 June 2026, the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2026 came into force. Enhanced due diligence wording changed, euro thresholds became sterling, and pooled client account obligations widened. Every one of those changes now sits in the wrong...

How Do Lawyers Review Tracked Changes in a Contract Faster?
The draft comes back at 6:00 PM with 200 tracked changes, a dozen comments, and a client call first thing in the morning. The short answer: Lawyers review tracked changes faster when they verify the markup first and hide formatting noise. Then they sort substantive edits from drafting edits and work through comments alongside the changes they explain. The biggest time...

Your Biggest AML Risk Isn't a Missed Check. It's an Outdated Template.
On 30 June 2026, the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2026 took effect. For most firms, the hard part is not understanding what has changed. It is finding every place where the old rules are still written down. That’s the uncomfortable truth about this reform. Much of it was designed to reduce burden, not add to it. Yet for any firm with a...

How Should Law Firms Manage Access to Legal AI Tools?
A Legal AI rollout can stall before a single lawyer signs in, held up by an identity exception IT can't approve. The short answer: Law firms should manage access to Legal AI tools through the same identity provider that governs every other system. That means single sign-on (SSO) for sign-in and automated provisioning for users and groups. This keeps access in step with the...

From Pilots to Practice: The Quiet Shift Reshaping How Lawyers Actually Use AI
Law firms have spent the last two years investing heavily in AI: new platforms, new agents, new pilots, a new generation of AI-first tools. Yet day-to-day legal work has not seen material efficiency or performance gains yet. Critical insights remain locked in disconnected systems.
