transactional work may be very different. And pre-litigation work may as well.

E.g., a firm that writes wills might employ 10 lawyers right now. With good AI, one lawyer can do the work of 10.

E.g., corporate clients can use fewer lawyers for contracting and other transactional work. And corporate clients won't need to call for pre-litigation advice as often if they can get good AI answers.

Eventually AI could replace us all. But trial work will probably be one of the last.
