A recent report by Saxton Bampfylde, in collaboration with The Lawyer, examines how AI is transforming the legal sector, urging firms to rethink talent models, leadership structures, and service delivery. AI is already automating tasks and reshaping workflows, necessitating a shift from traditional training models to developing hybrid lawyers who combine technological fluency with human judgment and empathy. The study highlights that firms must adapt their cultures and leadership pipelines to foster innovation and differentiate themselves through people, brand, and client relationships. Based on insights from 32 private practice leaders, the report underscores that embracing AI requires bold leadership and a strategic alignment of people and purpose.
