The emergence of artificial intelligence and alternative legal services providers (ALSPs) poses a significant threat to junior associates in Biglaw, who have traditionally carried out essential tasks. As firms increasingly engage ALSPs—35% currently use independent providers—the demand for junior roles is set to decline.

The ALSP market is growing rapidly, expected to reach $28.5 billion in 2023, underscoring the changing landscape of the legal industry.
