🚨 In-House Lawyers’ Use of #GenAI More Than Doubles in One Year - David Jolly, writing in Bloomberg Law More than half of corporate legal departments reported using generative artificial intelligence this year, a finding with important implications for their use of outside law firms, according to a #survey from the Association of Corporate Counsel and Everlaw. ✅ Some 52% of in-house teams are using Gen AI, more than double the 23% who reported using it in 2024, according to the report, which was based on a survey of 657 in-house legal professionals across 30 countries. ✅ As corporate counsel become increasingly comfortable with the technology, they expect to be more self-sufficient: 64% say they will need to outsource less work to law firms. Another 50% say #AI use will allow them to cut their spending on outside counsel. ✅ The biggest areas cited by respondents for AI-led efficiency gains include drafting, contract management, and research. 👉 Read more > https://lnkd.in/dfT4_abC #Ediscovery #LegalTech #ACC #Survey

Mid-market law firms are under pressure to cut costs, keep talent and compete with AI-enabled competitors, but most leaders still don’t have a clear business case for AI. 

Generative AI has moved from the margins to the mainstream of in-house legal work. According to ACC’s latest survey data, adoption more than doubled in just a year — from 23 percent in 2024 to 52 percent in 2025. In-house teams increasingly rely on AI to accelerate drafting, streamline research, and free up capacity for strategic work.

A new Utah law now requires licensed professionals—like doctors, attorneys, and financial advisors—to disclose their use of generative AI in high-risk consumer interactions. In the absence of federal AI regulations, businesses will need to navigate a growing patchwork of state-level AI regulations.   In this inaugural edition of our State Spotlight series, Knobbe Martens lawyers Harnik Shukla and Spencer Carter break down what Utah’s law means, how it can affect businesses’ daily operations, and what they should do now to stay compliant.   Click through for a full breakdown, and find the full Spotlight, including a downloadable quick compliance guide to Utah’s law, here: https://lnkd.in/dNrjgatD   #KnobbeMartens #IPLaw #AI #Regulation #Compliance

Corporate legal departments are adopting generative AI faster than their outside counsel, but the benefits have yet to appear. A new Association of Corporate Counsel and Everlaw survey shows 52% of in-house teams now use AI tools, yet only 7% have seen cost reductions. Most report gains in efficiency, but those savings are rarely reflected in law firm pricing. As confidence in AI grows, nearly two-thirds of in-house professionals say they plan to send less work to outside firms, signaling a major shift in client-firm relationships.
