As AI makes legal work faster and more efficient, a new question is emerging: who actually benefits from the savings? Zaven examines AI billing, legal technology investment, regulation and how in-house teams can ensure that efficiency gains are reflected in the price they pay.
AI is making the billable hour obsolete, replacing time with outcomes as the measure of value. But value-based pricing only works with clear scope, structure and metrics. Firms and clients that adapt operationally can reduce inefficiency, remove admin burden and align incentives around results.
Navigating a divorce can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to manage costs and maintain control. Many people are now choosing to proceed without a solicitor by instructing a Direct Access barrister instead. A barrister can guide you through key stages (such as financial disclosure, settlement negotiations, and court hearings) while you handle the administrative steps yourself. This approach offers expert legal support at a lower cost, though it does require greater personal organisation. For straightforward cases, Direct Access can be a safe, effective way to manage your divorce with clarity and confidence.
