Thomson Reuters publishes its 2025 report on the adoption of generative AI across professional services, focusing on sectors such as legal, tax, and consulting. The study, based on global survey data, reveals that over 70% of professionals in these industries have already integrated generative AI into their workflows. Legal professionals are using AI for document review, legal research, contract drafting, and risk assessment.

Respondents cited improved speed, accuracy, and client service as key benefits, though concerns remain over confidentiality, bias, and regulatory compliance. The report notes that adoption is highest in firms that have invested in AI-specific governance frameworks. Additionally, companies are increasingly training staff in AI tools to improve responsible usage. The findings suggest that generative AI is becoming not just a tool of convenience but a competitive advantage in knowledge-intensive professions.
