Across the Aisle: AI and the Price of Progress

Where firms and clients finally talk — not negotiate.

The relationship between law firms and in-house teams is changing fast. New pressures around AI, pricing, data transparency, and performance are forcing both sides to rethink what “value” really means.

Across the Aisle, hosted by PERSUIT, brings leading firms and in-house legal leaders together for honest, unscripted conversations about the business of law.

No buzzwords. No sales pitches. Just the real issues shaping modern legal partnerships — out in the open.

Each session features voices from both sides of the table, exploring how to balance innovation, efficiency, and trust in an industry built on precedent.

AI and the Price of Progress

If AI makes legal work faster, should clients be paying less?

It’s a simple question — with a complicated answer.

Firms are investing millions in experimentation, training, and compliance to make AI safe and effective. Clients, meanwhile, expect to see efficiency reflected in the invoice. The truth lies somewhere in between.

In this first Across the Aisle session, two leaders will share how their firms are navigating this tension, what they’ve learned so far, and what “value” means in the era of AI.

• How firms are experimenting with AI in real client matters — and where it’s paying off
  
  
• Why AI doesn’t always equal cost savings (yet)
  
  
• What fair pricing for AI-assisted work could look like
  
  
• How clients and firms can collaborate more transparently as the technology matures
