10 Questions Helping Firms Get From AI Spend to AI Impact
These are the questions every law firm should be asking to make sure they get the most from their AI investments.

Surface the gaps between AI investment and AI results.
Most law firms are already using AI tools. The harder question is whether those tools are set up to deliver real impact – or quietly creating risks no one has addressed yet.
This 10-question checklist surfaces the gap between what your firm is spending on AI and what it’s actually getting back. Questions that matter, organized around the five places AI investments quietly succeed or quietly stall
What’s Inside:
- Cost & ROI: Where AI spend is quietly duplicating itself, and how to tell the difference between a real capability gap and a context gap.
- Accuracy & Trust: Whether your team can verify an AI answer, or is just trusting it.
- Efficiency & Usability: Whether AI is actually shortening the ramp-up time on complex matters, or just making search feel faster.
- Governance & Risk: Whether your ethical walls and permissions travel automatically into your AI environment, or depend on someone remembering.
- Institutional Knowledge & Scale: What happens to a matter’s history and strategy when the lawyer who built it leaves the firm.
Built for managing partners, general counsel, legal operations leaders, and IT/knowledge management teams who are being asked to justify AI spend, plan the next phase of AI adoption, or simply get an honest read on whether current tools are earning their keep.
