Law News: Most Firms Are Experimenting with AI. Only 17% Actually Use It Daily

This article highlights findings from the iManage Knowledge Work 2026 Benchmark Report, showing that while most professional services firms are experimenting with AI, only a small fraction have integrated it into daily operations. The research reveals that organizations with strong, well‑governed knowledge foundations consistently outperform their peers on AI adoption, revenue growth, productivity, and client trust. The report underscores that AI success depends not on rapid experimentation but on mature knowledge environments where governance, structure, and data discipline enable AI to function reliably. Firms that invested early in document governance and knowledge systems are now positioned to scale AI confidently, while others remain stuck in ongoing pilots and mounting operational friction.
