ROI & Cost Analysis

Legal spend with and without AI, by firm size and per task.

IlustrativoAtualizado 2026-07-08

As a directional scenario, the model compares annual legal spend with and without AI assistance across six firm types. Percentage reductions cluster near 60%: a solo practice moves from an estimated $45,000 to $18,000, and Big Law firms from $2.4M to $960,000, both roughly 60%. Government legal teams show the smallest reduction, about 54%, from $280,000 to $130,000. Directionally, the estimate implies savings rates are fairly consistent across firm types, though actual realized savings depend heavily on adoption depth and workflow redesign, not tool access alone.
