Baker McKenzie National Managing Partner, Anne-Marie Allgrove: "Geopolitical uncertainty, rising regulatory pressure and more complex risk will continue to dominate FY27. Supporting clients in managing that complexity and risk in ways that address the uncertainty, provide insights, enable consistency and predictability both as to solutions and cost will be critical for Law Firms. Use of AI is integral to that. AI will move decisively from experimentation to embedded, real world application across legal services. What will differentiate firms is not the technology itself but how effectively it is used - combining it with top talent and proprietary knowledge to deliver meaningful outcomes, all the while enabling lawyers to focus on high value work. To prepare, firms and leaders must invest not just in technology, but in capability: embedding AI into workflows, upskilling their people, and aligning innovation closely to client outcomes."
