GenAI in Law:
A Guide to Building Trust
Establishing trust can unlock remarkable benefits for firms that embrace legal AI
A legal services revolution is on the horizon, with Generative AI (GenAI) poised to transform how lawyers work by automating routine tasks and enabling them to focus on more complex matters. But there’s a snag: lawyers don’t quite trust the technology yet. According to the LexisNexis Investing in Legal Innovation Survey, 37% of senior lawyers say their firms use AI already, but only 25% actually trust it to handle legal work.
To close this trust gap, firms must build their lawyers’ and their clients’ confidence in GenAI tools. This can be accomplished through a combination of education, hands-on training and practical experience. By taking an informed, measured approach, GenAI can help unlock substantial benefits for law firms and in-house legal departments, transforming legal work by creating efficiencies and opening new revenue streams.
This report outlines how firms can build trust in GenAI and overcome concerns so that the technology can be integrated into workflows, enabling attorneys to work faster and smarter and allowing firms to innovate and ultimately compete more effectively.
