Law Firms Urged to Drop the Billable Hour as AI Disrupts Practice
Original: Firms Should Shed the Billable Hour Soon to Weather the AI Storm

If AI can draft documents and research far faster than junior lawyers, hourly billing may collapse as a business model, and firms that fail to adapt could lose out.
Why now: AI is raising urgent questions about how legal services will be priced and whether traditional billing models can survive.
