Webinar Recap: Beyond Billables — How Law Firms Can Productize Contracting with AI

In this 60-minute session, Law Insider’s Electra Japonas explored how forward-thinking law firms are moving beyond the billable hour and embracing AI to deliver legal services at scale. From NDA review kits to subscription-based GC support, Electra broke down real examples of productized contracting models—and how AI makes them repeatable, efficient, and profitable.

Joined by boutique law firm founder Gary Bouchard, the conversation also tackled how smaller firms are using AI to compete with BigLaw, shift pricing models, and deliver more strategic value to clients.

Key topics included:

  • Why clients are demanding fixed fees, faster turnaround, and measurable value

  • Five modern pricing models redefining small firm economics

  • How AI enables scalable workflows, from redlining to risk detection

  • Real-world examples from firms already making the shift
