Choosing the Right AI Tool for Your In-House Team

2026-03-16T17:00:00Z

How is AI transforming legal work?

With AI swiftly emerging as the general-purpose technology of this century, executives are directing AI resources towards improving time-intensive, repetitive tasks to enable lawyers to focus on proactive risk management and strategic commercial advice.

The latest LexisNexis’ AI Sentiment Survey of over 1000 Australian legal professionals, reports on the outcomes they value most and the concerns shaping implementation, including:

69% are using or planning to use generative AI for legal work.
90% now feel confident using AI (up from 75% in 2023–24).
45% use AI for legal research.
38% measure AI success by time savings.
39% cite inaccurate or fabricated outputs as their biggest concern.

These findings reveal that the Australian legal profession is moving beyond a stance of experimentation and into practical implementation.

What Is the Hidden Cost of Under-Investing in Legal AI?

The LexisNexis survey indicates that keeping pace with technology, changes in the law, and cybersecurity are the three top concerns for legal executives.

The industry-shaping questions being asked are no longer 'Are you using AI, and if so, how?' but instead, 'What's the best AI tool for this specific legal use case?' and ‘Does it enhance or impair legal team service delivery?'

Without a clear legal AI strategy, in-house lawyers and the organisations they serve risk inconsistent standards, unclear accountability, and reduced accuracy in client-facing work.
