Victorian lawyers embrace AI, but fee reductions lag behind usage

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A recent study in Victoria, Australia, reveals that 55% of lawyers are now utilizing AI tools in their practice, a significant increase from the previous year. Despite these efficiency gains, only about a quarter of these legal professionals have passed on cost savings to clients through reduced fees.
