Above the Law's PERSUIT-backed analysis argues that corporate legal departments want firms to lead on AI but are not giving clear pricing direction, while firms want client guidance but are hearing more silence than specifics. The result is that each side is building its own view of AI-enabled value and the future of the billable hour. The pricing risk is misalignment. Firms may invest in workflows clients will not reward, while legal departments may demand savings without defining how AI quality, speed, risk and supervision should be priced.
