Burnout and AI: technology does not get tired. Lawyers do.

Our Managing Partner, Rodrigo Jardim Gonçalves, has authored an article in Advocatus reflecting on artificial intelligence, productivity and burnout in the legal profession.

Lawyers do.”, the article looks at the impact of artificial intelligence on the daily work of law firms: its ability to accelerate tasks, broaden legal analysis and improve professional preparation, but also the risks of work intensification, overreliance and exhaustion.

AI is here to stay — and it is only just beginning. But its use requires judgement, prudence, human validation and well-prepared teams.
