The thing is this is not new @heyitsalexsu.
You could have (and many did) make the ALMOST ATHE same chart about the legal outsourcing wave 15 years ago.
In reality, law firms copied or hired the outsourcing companies and the work expanded (due to reduced costs) blunting the impact of the innovation (at least in the numbers).
This time, again, law firms COULD adopt innovation, lower costs dramatically on some baskets of work, expand the demand for that work, AND blunt much of the negative impact to profits and revenue.
We shall see!
One of the first times I've seen a taxonomy of legal work presented as it relates to future automation. Not surprised it came from @ArtificialLawya Very similar to my own views

The Clio-@GoClio-acquisition of @vLexNews and @Fastcase wasn’t just strategic—it was values-driven. A moment that says as much about who—as what. I wrote about it, including my personal experience, here 👉 kevin.lexblog.com/2025/07/01……

New York is well-suited to the next generation of startups where interdisciplinary taste matters more than engineering talent density.
The proximity of lower-Manhattan capital (native NYC VCs and now every SF VC has an office) and Brooklyn taste is going to produce some awesome companies
Browser company is the first breakout example. Macro soon. Many others to come

As the cost of software development declines we will have
1. Much more software
2. Better software: the reason a lot of the software you use isn’t perfect is because making software perfect is hard
3. Open software: sheer volume of proprietary, useful and battle-tested code actually was a pretty good moat pre AI. Soon it won’t be. Open source projects will proliferate and companies will realize being open is a better decision for the below reasons, outweighing the value of staying proprietary
What now matters more?
A. Taste. AI can be superintelligent analytically and still have no taste, especially when it comes to designing UIs for human fingers, and especially when the training data (humans) for the most part have no taste
B. Brand. We have huge variety in fashion because the cost of producing a garment is low. So too will we have abundant software choice as the cost of code approaches cotton
C. All the other moats: ecosystem, network effects, human capital

AI is weird. No one actually knows the full range of capabilities of the most advanced large language models, like GPT-4.1.

Fundamentally, business needs for legal support are increasing faster than the resources available to meet those needs. Long term, labor arbitrage is insufficient to close the gap. Read more: lexfusion.com/red-team-memo
The best measure of seriousness is the percentage of total budget allocated to projects that progress your ability to drive better outcomes at scale and pace.

Today @WeAreLegora (formerly Leya)(YC W24) launching in the US.
When @t_blom and I interviewed the founders of Legora for the @ycombinator Winter 24 batch, it was their second time interviewing for YC, and it was clear their ambition levels were different this time. They weren’t just going to win Sweden. They were going to take on the world.
At the batch kickoff, the other founders voted Legora one of the top three most likely to build a massive company and during the batch, they grew from $200k to nearly $900k in ARR—a crazy trajectory, even by YC standards.
Fifteen months later, they are the Legal AI leader in Europe with 70 employees and hundreds of law firms as customers. Today, they are also launching in the US with Goodwin as their launch partner. Goodwin is one of the leading US corporate law firms that has advised many, many YC companies over the years.
As part of the launch, they are opening their New York office, where CEO @MaxJunestrand will be based.
For a long time, the conventional wisdom was that lawyers didn’t buy much software. Law was seen as inherently manual. LLMs have changed that—but few companies are getting the product experience right. Legora is.
Welcome to the US, Legora.
We are delighted to share that we have partnered with @StructureFlow to help the legal industry transform how it interacts with complex information through powerful visuals.
