DISCO Resource Library

In the summer of 2026, DISCO engaged Ari Kaplan Advisors to conduct an online survey of 104 individuals (split evenly between law firm and corporate legal professionals), supplemented by 33 in-depth interviews, to better understand how their views and expectations of AI are evolving and where they see ongoing obstacles and new opportunities. Read the results in our whitepaper.

In the summer of 2026, DISCO partnered with Ari Kaplan Advisors to survey 104 legal professionals, supplemented by 33 in-depth interviews, to understand how legal AI adoption, trust, and economics are evolving. This is our third consecutive year publishing research in this field. With three years of data now in hand, this report goes further than a single year-over-year comparison: Alongside this year's findings, we trace a small set of core metrics all the way back to 2024 to show which shifts are part of a steady three-year climb, and which are brand-new to this year alone.

Ready to get started with agentic AI for litigation? Through concrete, step-by-step examples, modeled around an investigation of the publically available Enron data set, we will show you exactly how to use an AI agent to build dual timelines, expose production gaps, and draft precise factual analyses — in short, how to use an agentic AI workflow from the initial pleading to pre-trial preparation.

If it feels like the goalposts for legal technology keep moving, you’re right. A new phrase is taking over legal tech: agentic AI workflows. If you aren’t entirely sure what it means (or how it differs from the AI tools you’ve already tested), you’re far from alone. That’s why we’ve written this playbook.
