The Law Society reports that approximately 75% of the UK’s largest law firms have adopted AI in some form, whereas only about 30% of small firms are exploring its use. A Clyde & Co analysis emphasises that law firms must ensure robust data protection and cybersecurity when using AI to avoid client confidentiality breaches and legal liability. Embedding AI into Microsoft 365 fits well with the second route. Many firms are unsure how external AI tools handle or store sensitive client data. Embedding AI where lawyers already work (Word, Outlook, Microsoft 365) seems increasingly like the most pragmatic path forward.
