eBrevia Featured in Legal Women UK: Expectations vs Reality of AI in Law
The March 2026 edition of Legal Women UK features thought leadership from eBrevia, with an article by EMEA Account Director, Sophiya Volkova.
Titled “Introducing AI into Law: Expectations vs Reality,” the piece cuts through the noise surrounding generative AI and focuses on what actually matters: how legal teams are adopting (and struggling to adopt) these tools in practice.
Rather than adding to the hype, the article highlights a more grounded reality. While AI adoption is accelerating across the industry, expectations often outpace what current tools and teams are equipped to deliver. As Sophiya notes, many lawyers still approach AI with a “plug-and-play” mindset, expecting immediate results without the time investment required to integrate it effectively.
The feature also underscores a critical point often overlooked in broader discussions: Technology alone isn’t the barrier, adoption is. From billable hour pressures to ingrained ways of working, the challenges are as much cultural as they are technical.
It also points to a broader shift underway. Firms and legal departments are beginning to rethink traditional models, from how work is priced to how success is measured, moving gradually toward outcomes over hours.
Ultimately, the article reinforces a clear message: AI is already changing how legal work gets done, but its real impact depends on how it’s implemented, adopted, and aligned with the realities of legal practice.
eBrevia’s Sophiya Volkova’s piece “Introducing AI into Law: Expectations vs Reality,” appears in the March 2026 issue of Legal Women UK.
