The conversation about AI and legal jobs usually gets framed as a future risk, something to prepare for eventually. For some roles inside law firms, that future already arrived. The roles under the most pressure right now aren’t the ones doing complex legal reasoning. They’re the ones built around tasks that were always more procedural than legal: first-pass document review, basic due diligence checklists, routine contract comparison. Those tasks are exactly what current AI tools do well, and the pressure on the people doing them isn’t hypothetical anymore. This isn’t a reason for alarm. It’s a reason for a real conversation inside firms about how those roles evolve, rather than waiting for the pressure to force a decision nobody planned for. Has your firm started that conversation yet, or is it still being treated as a future problem? #LegalTech #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfLaw #LegalInnovation #LegalCareers #ELTA Grégoire Miot 🦋Marisa Borsboom Jon Bartman Vera Moreno Patricia Gannon Alan Ragueneau Heikki Ilvessalo Margrét Anna Einarsdóttir Marko Porobija Zohar Fisher Namit Oberoy Antje Fedderke Paulius Astromskis Regina Barchan (ex Bondarenko) Ana-Maria Drăgănuță Briard Dmytro Gadomsky Ebru Metin, LL.M Frode Preber Ettesvoll Helena Hallgarn Holger Zscheyge Ivan Rašić Jeremy Small Jeroen Zweers Konstantinos P.
