Justin estimates that lawyers using AI tools like StrongSuit can roughly double their output. Attorneys billing $300–$2,000/hour who pay ~$250/month for the tool only need to save one hour per month to break even, but he estimates saving ~80 hours monthly. * AI reduces write-offs significantly. Lawyers currently write off 30–40% of their time (background research, getting up to speed, etc.) — exactly the tasks AI excels at. Using AI tools should bring write-offs close to zero, directly increasing revenue per attorney. * The billable hour is eroding. Justin believes the 6-minute billing increment model will increasingly give way to fixed-fee, contingency, and subscription arrangements. AI enables more predictable scoping of legal work, making alternative fee structures more viable for both attorneys and clients. * StrongSuit’s edge is specialized, litigation-focused AI. Unlike general chatbots, StrongSuit uses multi-agent workflows, a proprietary full US case database, and hallucination-prevention algorithms to deliver highly accurate legal research, doc review, and brief drafting. Justin claims they’re 1.5–2 years ahead of general tools for litigation work. * Lawyers should embrace AI now since the pace of change is accelerating. Justin references projections that 2027 will be the last “normal” year, with AI-driven change intensifying every year after. Lawyers who learn these tools today will be better positioned competitively, and the technology is accessible (point-and-click, not technically demanding). __________________________ Want your question to be answered on a future show?
