New report explores the business case for legal AI, trust in complex tasks, and client expectations
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used in legal practice, attention is turning to what it delivers. Bloomberg Law’s new 2026 AI in Practice report examines that question alongside attorneys’ concerns about the technology, its reliability, and its implications for their work.
Drawing on responses from more than 1,000 attorneys to Bloomberg Law’s biannual State of Practice survey, the report explores how attorneys use AI tools and whether they trust them for complex tasks.
The survey found that 76% of attorneys are concerned about AI going rogue, while 25% fear their job will be replaced by the technology.
The report also examines the business case for AI, the importance of checking its outputs, and client expectations about its use.
“As AI becomes part of everyday legal work, attorneys need to understand where it adds value and where it requires closer scrutiny,” said Cesca Antonelli, editor-in-chief, Bloomberg Industry Group. “These findings give legal employers a basis for assessing their investment in AI and the questions they need to address with their attorneys and clients.”
Together, the findings offer a look at how attorneys are navigating the practical demands of AI adoption, from evaluating its return on investment to maintaining confidence in the work they deliver.
