More than half of Victorian lawyers use AI – but only a quarter have cut client fees as a result.

AI brief

Research found that 55% of lawyers in Victoria, Australia, use AI in their legal practices, up from 37% last year, but only about a quarter have reduced client fees as a result.

Why it matters: It suggests efficiency gains from AI adoption in legal work are not translating into lower costs for clients as much as might be expected.
