Banks reportedly ban outside lawyers from using AI, contradicting adoption hype
jkubicki · x · 2026-09-02
A lawyer says 5+ people at biglaw firms told him two banks expressly prohibit their outside lawyers from using AI, putting several firms on formal "no AI" lists—contradicting media reports of enthusiastic law-firm AI adoption. A commenter adds that institutional clients famously claim to abandon billable hours yet keep paying invoices based on time and higher rates, suggesting legal-industry conservatism applies to AI too.
