- Top European Firms Are Letting Gen AI Draft First – And Partners Aren’t ComplainingEuropean law firms have finally found something that can draft faster than a sleep‑deprived mid‑level – and it doesn’t ask for a bonus or threaten to lateral. New research from The Global Legal Post and LexisNexis shows leading firms in Germany, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands quietly handing first‑draft duty to generative AI tools, especially for contracts and complex commercial documents. The focus is not sci‑fi robot lawyers, but something far more radical for BigLaw, making use of the knowledge the firm already has. By plugging Gen AI into internal precedents, know‑how banks and document automation systems, these firms are generating “house style” drafts that reflect prior deals, client preferences and jurisdiction‑specific quirks rather than yet another generic template no one quite trusts. Senior partners say the attraction is simple providing better quality at lower cost, delivered with guardrails around confidentiality and auditability that won’t make the GC’s risk committee choke either.

For LawFuel, after almost a quarter century publishing law firm content, we have a few observations on what is happening law firm marketing right now with the AI tsunami. Log in to read more . . .
