Productivity gains from firms’ use of AI

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, recorded at the Partner Summit 2025, LEAP Legal Software founder and chief executive Christian Beck talks about the most notable productivity gains we’re seeing from the increased use of artificial intelligence by law firms across the board.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Beck about the monumental shifts being witnessed from such increased use of AI by law firms, his perception of firms’ embrace of AI and new technologies, the key challenges pertaining to billing of clients in the age of AI, and the need to adjust a firm’s billing practices accordingly.

Beck also delves into how best to maximise productivity gains within your own law firm, determining how best to charge for legal services and provide additional value to clients, the need to “be more engaged than ever before” and think more creatively, the practical steps he advises firm leaders to take, what lawyers will be judged on moving forward, and whether it is harder to be a law firm partner now than ever before.
