How in-house counsel are increasingly turning to generative AI

Generative artificial intelligence has changed the practice and business of law in a short amount of time, and that’s especially been the case for in-house counsel.

According to an October report from the Association of Corporate Counsel, generative AI use among in-house lawyers has more than doubled over the last year. More than half of respondents are now actively using generative AI in their practice—compared to only 23% in 2024. The survey also said two-thirds of respondents are using it so that they can eventually rely less on outside counsel, and over 60% are likely to push for a change in how legal services are priced.

In other words, could this be the latest blow to the billable hour? It’s survived a lot of things over the years—recessions, pandemics, bubble bursts. Could generative AI be the one that finally kills it once and for all?

In this episode of the Legal Rebels Podcast, Jason L. Brown, the president and CEO of the Association of Corporate Counsel, talks to the ABA Journal’s Victor Li. Brown, who became the CEO on Nov. 1, speaks about how in-house lawyers are using generative AI and where things might be heading as far as the adoption and advancement of the technology.
