AI is already embedded in European legal practice. The challenge is no longer adoption; it’s managing the gap between AI outputs and genuine human judgment.
That gap becomes gravely obvious with unstructured use or over-confidence in AI-generated legal work that fails to meet regulatory and ethical requirements. With the EU AI Act introducing binding obligations (with extraterritorial reach), lawyers must rethink how AI fits within their core duties like confidentiality, supervision, and accountability.
Drawing upon input from European legal leaders who are actively using AI today, this report covers real-world examples of applying AI within Europe’s legal frameworks. This includes where ethical gaps tend to occur, why governance should be tailored to specific use cases, and what meaningful human oversight actually requires.
