- Senior partners reviewing poorly cited research that requires extensive correction
- Expensive database subscriptions that still require hours of manual searching
- Difficulty keeping current with legislation amendments and new court decisions
- Client pressure for faster turnaround without compromising advice quality
- Billable hour leakage on mechanical research tasks that AI could accelerate
