Pryor Cashman Managing Partner David Rose was quoted in a Law360 article exploring how law firms are navigating the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence amid growing concerns about implementation costs, return on investment, and competitive pressures across the legal industry.

In the article, “As Law Firms Race To Adopt AI, Cost Concerns Grow,” David explains that the legal profession has moved beyond debating whether firms should embrace AI and is now focused on making smart, sustainable investments:

“The conversation across the industry has shifted from whether to invest in AI to how to invest intelligently, measure value and avoid waste.”

Discussing AI’s growing role in regulatory and white collar matters, David notes that these practices are particularly well suited to technology-assisted workflows due to the volume, complexity, and pace of information involved. He also emphasizes the importance of implementing AI responsibly:

“[The practice often involves] large volumes of documents, fast-moving facts, complex timelines and the need to synthesize information rapidly. But those same features also make responsible adoption especially important. In white collar matters, confidentiality, privilege, accuracy and defensibility are paramount.”

Addressing the value AI can bring to clients, David further observes that the technology supports a more efficient staffing model that many clients increasingly expect:

“[AI] reinforces the lean-team model that clients increasingly demand to obtain true value from their lawyers.”

David’s insights highlight the evolving role of artificial intelligence in legal practice and underscore the importance of strategic investment, rigorous safeguards, and a continued focus on delivering greater efficiency and value to clients.
