# Avoiding The AI Efficiency Trap: What Biglaw Needs To Get Right 

If AI makes lawyers faster, will their firms become more profitable? Or is Biglaw in the process of automating away its own business model? 

ILTACON 2026, set for late August, is sure to advance this conversation, and experts from Above the Law and Litera will be there to witness it all.

Join ATL and Litera to hear what they discovered, particularly as it relates to what ever-greater efficiency means for the business of law.

We’ll explore:

- Key takeaways from ILTACON 2026
- A commercially minded approach to AI for law firms
- Tracking “RoAI” (and what “RoAI” means)
- Whether and how law firms may actually adjust the billable hour this time
