Може ли AI да замени Вашия Paralegal?

AI isn't replacing the 'legal mind,' it is replacing the 'legal grind.' For decades, paralegals have been the engine room of firms, spending 60% of their time on document processing and research—tasks where LLMs like Harvey and Spellbook now outperform humans in speed and citation accuracy. The transition I'm seeing isn't necessarily a total wipeout of the role, but a massive consolidation. One tech-enabled paralegal can now do the work of four. If you are still paying a human to manually compare contract versions or search for specific clauses across five hundred PDFs, you are operating at a competitive disadvantage. The 'human-in-the-loop' is still essential for liability and nuances, but the bulk of the hourly billable work is being commoditised. Use tools like CoCounsel for research and Spellbook for drafting; if your current staff aren't using them, they're costing you more than just their salary—they're costing you speed.
