4.1 Conclusion

In a legal industry where AI is said to be replacing lawyers, where legal tech companies are raising record-breaking rounds, and where marketing claims often outpace reality, most in-house counsel are simply trying to keep up with what's happening while they're busy with limited time.

That's why we ran this independent evaluation: to offer a grounded, practical view of how legal AI tools actually perform in real in-house legal tasks, and how much human oversight they still require.

So can AI do the job? In many cases, yes, and sometimes surprisingly well. But it still needs legal professionals to frame queries clearly, interpret ambiguous answers, and verify outputs. Human judgment remains essential, but AI is increasingly capable of lightening the load.

We hope these findings help legal teams cut through the hype, adopt AI more confidently, and shape a more transparent, informed future for fellow lawyers.

If this mission resonates with you, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of legal AI adoption.
