<strong>The billable-hour dilemma:</strong> AI automates exactly the work many models rely on — document review, due diligence, compliance checks and reporting. Firms that do not reposition their delivery model lose margin to competitors that do.
<strong>Confidentiality & ethics:</strong> Lawyers, accountants and consultants handle strictly confidential client information. AI without a robust governance framework is not only risky — it touches professional ethics and client trust.
<strong>Talent & scale:</strong> Junior professionals are often the engine of the work model. AI changes their role fundamentally. Redesigning training, quality and leverage requires deliberate choices.
