I work for a law firm but its an entry level role, I don’t have any legal-related qualifications. I respond to emails, mostly from a single opposing law firm that my team deals with. I fill out word document templates with information from pdfs. I negotiate settlement of files via email but just using the same arguments over and over again. All of this stuff is a piece of cake for AI in 2026, I recall listening to a lawyer on a podcast (not dramatized, it was an unpopular sports podcast but featuring a guy who used to be a lawyer who I listened to for years and who has never been someone to make random claims for views) 3 years ago saying that AI can already do everything that even a lawyer needs to do but just doesn’t have trust or indemnity (insurance), which would both eventually come. I know my company is adopting AI, as every time we have a business update there is a guy who gives us an update on a piece of software the company is developing themselves which takes all of the data from claim documents that opposing solicitors send and spits out everything we need as we follow the same strategy for every file. The likes of OpenAI at business level are already far more advanced than this software. I’m just curious why AI seems to have seen zero impact so far at my company, even for admin roles which would be even easier to replace. Is it likely just the legal framework they are working on? I live in the UK. It just seems bizarre to see people working for major tech firms who have far more complicated jobs being replaced but not simple office jobs like mine. submitted by /u/Trappy2020
