Welcome back to our miniseries on legal AI. In Part 1 we asked why clients are so keen on it, and we identified what it can’t do. Then last week we predicted the role of the attorney in the legal AI ecosystem. Now we can expand this, to envisage what a whole assignment will look like.

The modern business mantra is AI or die. In other words, embrace legal AI. OK, but where do you fit in as a lawyer? You’re still relevant and essential. You’re still the lawyer. You just have a new asset to manage. Legal AI doesn’t know your client, their people, products or processes. You do. Neither does legal AI understand your client’s problem. You do. As we discussed, without you, legal AI will just answer the wrong question more efficiently. Legal AI is a large language model. That’s its strength — and its limitation.
