Midsize law firms should focus AI adoption on work where efficiency gains are measurable and verification burdens are manageable, rather than simply targeting the highest-volume tasks. Key factors influencing ROI include the ease of verifying AI outputs and the firm’s pricing model, with fixed-fee work providing the clearest demonstration of commercial value. Firms already using AI informally must formalize their approach by selecting AI-suitable tasks that balance verification complexity and billing structure to build a strong internal business case and guide strategic investment.
