Require it, regulate it, or preclude it?
Two peer surveys from OnPoint Community and LegalOps.com, one on what in-house teams now expect from their outside counsel, and one on how law firms are actually putting AI to work, with the results revealed on stage at Running Legal Like a Business in Las Vegas, September 2026. Together they show where the two sides of the market agree, where they don't, and where AI is quietly rewriting the client–firm relationship.
Sneak Peek (register for the full report + template!)
In the full report, we break down:
- How much a firm's AI capability really weighs when in-house teams choose outside counsel, and the use cases they expect versus the ones they quietly prohibit
- Where AI has landed in outside counsel billing guidelines: who has rules, who's still drafting them, and what those rules actually cover
- The risks that most concern in-house counsel and law firms, the two sides don't worry about the same things
- The benefits each side is banking on, and the gap between savings realized so far and what teams expect long-term
- The one area 100% of surveyed firms expect AI to reshape within three years
New: the AI Billing Guidelines Template
The surveys found that plenty of teams know they need AI rules for outside counsel but haven't written them yet. With thanks to the team at Snap for sharing their template as a starting point, we're offering a template you can adapt to require, regulate, or preclude AI in your billing guidelines without drafting from a blank page. It's yours free alongside the report.
The full report and the template are exclusive to OnPoint Community members. Sign in or create a free account to read it, it takes about a minute, and you'll get instant access.
