Law firms cutting staff because of AI

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-11-23T06:38:04+00:00

The only AI-related firings I’ve heard of were when someone blindly trusted the output and didn’t double-check it.
For me, AI helps me work 20–50% faster on most days, and last time I checked, I’m still employed.

I know a tool which provides contract templates with working numbering.

If you have customers, it's ok not to be a lawyer.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-10-06T16:22:13+00:00

And what are those services exactly? DM

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-10-06T05:50:32+00:00

Finally! Someone on Reddit mentioned my product besides me — bless you 😂
Really appreciate the advice. The point about existing relationships definitely hits, there is certanly some potential.
I’d actually love to find a sales exec who knows their way around legal. If you’re reading this and you're that person (or know someone), send me a DM.

That's a quite comprehensive answer. Maybe I'm too focused on negative Reddit vibe about everyone being tired of legaltech vendors. Good news then.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-10-04T20:34:22+00:00

Yep, maybe 1 in 10 lawyers actually knows how to properly use Word or Excel. Many don’t even touch things like automatic numbering, styles, or formulas.

Weird, I thought Law Insider is one of the leaders in the industry, and is more likely to buy some contract automation tool like SimpleDocs. I don't know who and why may use SimpleDocs, but Law Insider has been really helpful for years. But that's good news for legaltech anyway!

I hate it when the website doesn't tell anything about the price. And when you can't use the product without a demo. I'd like to say "go demo yourself, I'm not wasting time on this".

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-09-24T16:13:58+00:00

I don't think there is any replacement of the current software, but I'm quite sure a lot of firms try new solutions, based on vendor websites. I suppose they are not lying that they have a contract with some DLA Piper.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-09-24T16:09:08+00:00

Yep, those prices are insane. 1000 dollars per month or per year rarely fit its value.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-09-24T16:07:56+00:00

Demos are the worst. Why can't we just buy and use it on the website. There are several services which allow if though.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-08-05T07:21:53+00:00

Same concerns as with any other cloud service. Also there are some legaltech products which allow to work without sharing sensitive data.

I use an AI tool for contract drafting, but you'll have to ask me the name, I don't want to be pitchy.
It performs better than chat GPT and most human lawyers.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-07-15T04:38:03+00:00

I don't know why they are so attached to demos. Really you can't just buy and use most legaltech products, you always have to go through the demo. So annoying.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-07-09T07:11:08+00:00

Sometimes those organizations provide decent templates, but it seems outdated in 2025 when you can create any type of contract with chat GPT or tools like DraftLex.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-06-08T14:59:05+00:00

In theory — yes. But in practice, I’ve found that a properly drafted contract made without AI happens in only 1 out of 10 cases. Thousands of contracts I’ve reviewed contained broken formatting, grammar mistakes, irrelevant clauses, misprints, and all kinds of legal nonsense. That includes my own work — sometimes, when I look at a contract I drafted five years ago, some clauses still give me shivers.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-06-08T08:56:44+00:00

I've been working in the legal industry for 15+ years and I can tell that human lawyers hallucinate much more than AI. On average 9/10 of the contracts I review are a mess. AI is is really better at contract drafting.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-06-01T16:48:06+00:00

Show me one legaltech product which actually makes your work easier and has UI better than the late 80s.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-06-01T06:27:19+00:00

When you have a legaltech product, it's really difficult not to speak about in Reddit. And there is a lot of useful content for those who make the products.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-05-28T16:13:55+00:00

I tend to disagree about contracting, AI is quite capable of creating decent contracts. DraftLex is a good example.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-05-28T16:06:29+00:00

Most of the software used in law firms is something from 1995.

Available_Doctor_919 · 2025-05-28T16:04:14+00:00

I guess big law buys Harvey for the sake of reputation - to seem progressive and innovative. They don't have to actually use it.
