Clients Demand Discounts as AI Cuts Law Firm Costs

Original: As A.I. makes law firms more efficient, clients ask: 'Where's my discount?'

Clients of law firms are pushing back on the billable-hour model, arguing that artificial intelligence is making legal work faster and cheaper, so savings should be passed on to them. The debate centers on whether firms should keep charging the same rates when AI tools dramatically reduce the hours needed for tasks like research and document drafting.

Why now: AI is rapidly changing how legal work is priced, forcing an industry-wide reckoning with the billable hour.
