AI shifts from choice to compulsion as law firms rethink business models

AI shifts from choice to compulsion as law firms rethink business models - Corporate & Business - 5 min read AI shifts from choice to compulsion as law firms rethink business models Artificial intelligence in the legal profession is no longer a question of whether, but of how effectively it is deployed. As firms confront rising client expectations around speed, accuracy and value, AI is increasingly being viewed not as a technology upgrade, but as a fundamental business transformation reshaping how legal services are structured, priced and delivered. "Artificial intelligence has ceased to be a question of if. It is now, unequivocally, a question of how, and how well," said Kanika Chugh, Managing Partner, SKV Law Offices. She stressed that adoption must be deliberate and balanced. The lawyer's role today, in my opinion, is to integrate AI where it adds value, exercise judgment where it doesn't, and remain clear-eyed about the fact that the full measure of AI's value in legal practice is still being written." At SKV Law Offices, that repositioning is already underway. “The firm has integrated AI into its workflows, regularly tests emerging platforms, and ensures that its lawyers, at every level, have active access to these tools. Not as a periodic exercise, but as a continuous and evolving commitment to staying ahead of a market that will not wait," Chugh said. However, she underlined that access alone is insufficient.

ED to investigate into assets of self-styled godman Kharat; call record leaks will be probed: Fadnavis

ED to investigate into assets of self-styled godman Kharat; call record leaks will be probed: Fadnavis The Enforcement Directorate (ED) will investigate into the assets of self-styled godman Ashok Kharat who is accused in multiple cases of rape and property-related fraud, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Sunday (April 5, 2026). He also said that the leak of call detail records (CDR), which allegedly exposes exchange of calls between Kharat and some political leaders in the State, will be probed. “The leak of call data records in the Ashok Kharat case will be probed and strict action would be taken. No one has the right to access call data records, only authorised agencies may do so. How this data was leaked and by whom will be investigated by the State government,” Mr. He said mere allegations were not enough in sensitive cases and that action would be taken on the basis of evidence. The Chief Minister made the comments after social activist Anjali Damania alleged that there were 17 phone calls between Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the rape-accused Kharat. ‘12 cases registered so far’ “All accounts of Kharat have come to our notice and the transactions through them have been identified. It is my firm belief that all illegal assets and wrongdoing will be exposed,” Mr. He said that more and more individuals were coming forward with information about Kharat as “people’s confidence is increasing”.
