Exploring the potential of Generative AI in legal services
Despite the transformative promise of ‘legal tech’ over recent years, the work of the legal function has remained largely unchanged and legal technology solutions have delivered only incremental improvement. At Deloitte Legal, we believe that Generative AI has the potential to drive genuine, sustainable change in the way legal services are received and delivered.
We conducted a survey to gather our clients' views on Generative AI, including its benefits, barriers to adoption, and impact on the legal ecosystem. The survey involved senior legal leadership from 43 of our largest clients. The executive summary presents the key findings, while the full report includes our market insights and perspectives on the future of legal work and the legal industry.
