    Workflow Automation Potential

    Current versus potential automation across core legal workflows.

    IllustrativeUpdated 2026-07-08

    Workflow Automation Potential

    Current automation levels vs. achievable potential across 10 core legal workflows. The gap between current and potential represents untapped efficiency gains.

    Implementation Complexity:
    Low
    Medium
    High

    Illustrative estimate - a directional figure for scenario framing, not a measured benchmark. Do not read these as measured per-vendor results.

    Illustrative modeling across ten legal workflows shows automation clustering in rules-based tasks. Billing (68% current, 90% potential) and e-discovery (60%, 94%) sit closest to their modeled ceiling, while litigation strategy trails at 12% current with just a 45% potential ceiling, the lowest cap in the set given its "High" complexity rating. The directional read: automation concentrates in structured, high-volume work, leaving strategic judgment largely human-led even in an optimistic scenario.
