The heated debate about whether artificial intelligence will replace professionals has dominated LinkedIn discussions and industry forums since ChatGPT's debut in 2022. At Legavee, we believe this debate misses the fundamental point: the true value of AI lies not in replacing legal professionals, but in empowering them to deliver better outcomes more efficiently.

A recent article in the Financial Times titled Law firm clients seek clarity on AI’s potential to cut costs highlights a growing disconnect in the legal sector: while law firms are embracing generative AI, clients are not seeing the cost savings they expected.

Our mission is to transform the way legal work gets done, starting with the family law sector, where the stakes are highest and the pain points most acute.
