Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
Scale
armies
are
dead
in
the
water.
AI
is
already
obliterating
the
high-leverage
model.
We
are
a
million
miles
from
that,
but
even
we
have
started
recruiting
less,
at
the
junior
levels,
support,
everywhere.
— An
unnamed
Biglaw
partner,
in
comments
given
to
The
Global
Lawyer,
concerning
how
his
firm
is
using
the
rise
of
artificial
intelligence
to
its
advantage.
Two
other
partners
also
suggested
that
their
firms
were
looking
at
ways
to
“get
smaller”
in
terms
of
lawyer
headcount
at
both
the
associate
and
partner
level.
