Clients demand discounts as AI cuts law firms' costs
Original: As A.I. makes law firms more efficient, clients ask: 'Where's my discount?'
Law firms are using artificial intelligence to handle research, drafting and review far faster than before, but the savings are not being passed on. Corporate clients are now questioning why bills remain the same when the work takes less time, putting pressure on the traditional billable-hour model that anchors the legal industry's economics. The debate is forcing firms and clients to renegotiate pricing as efficiency gains reshape the profession.
Why now: AI is genuinely reducing the time lawyers spend on tasks, so clients are publicly pushing to share in those savings.
