A recent study, Better Call GPT: Comparing Large Language Models Against Lawyers, has made waves in the legal and AI communities, revealing that advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) may be on the verge of disrupting traditional legal contract review. The study benchmarks LLMs against junior lawyers and legal process outsourcers (LPOs) to determine whether AI can outperform humans in accuracy, speed, and cost-efficiency.

The Key Findings

Accuracy: LLMs matched or even exceeded human accuracy in identifying legal issues in contracts, challenging the long-held belief that human expertise is irreplaceable in contract analysis.

Speed: While human reviewers take hours to process contracts, LLMs complete reviews in mere seconds, drastically improving efficiency.

Cost: Perhaps the most striking result—LLMs offer a staggering 99.97% cost reduction compared to traditional review methods, making AI-driven contract review a highly attractive option for legal teams.

What This Means for the Legal Industry

These findings signal a major shift in legal practice, particularly for high-volume, standardized contract reviews. While AI will not replace lawyers altogether, it is clear that LLMs can handle routine legal work with unprecedented efficiency, allowing legal professionals to focus on higher-value tasks like strategic advising and complex litigation.

AI is certainly changing the way legal professionals approach their workflows, and this shift is creating exciting opportunities to enhance both efficiency and accuracy within law firms, legal departments, and beyond.

We’ve always been focused on helping legal professionals manage cases more efficiently, organize vast amounts of case data, and connect crucial documents to key issues. The evolution of AI is an opportunity to further empower legal teams by integrating tools that complement their expertise and improve their productivity.

AI as a Helper, Not a Replacement

While AI has proven its ability to handle certain legal tasks with greater efficiency, it’s important to remember that it will not replace legal professionals. Instead, AI should be seen as a tool to help improve workflows, reduce time spent on repetitive tasks, and increase accuracy. Legal professionals bring expertise, critical thinking, and nuanced judgment to their work—qualities that AI simply cannot replace.
