That point about being passed to junior associates at big firms really hits home. I always thought you needed a big name for serious legal work, but hearing this makes me rethink it. Getting the actual expert on your case seems way better than just their brand.

Yeah, the "perfect match" part is key. My buddy's sink sprayer hose burst last week. He cut the bad section out and used a random brass connector from an old ice maker line he had in a junk drawer. Was it the exact part? No, but it clamped on tight and saved him a huge leak until the new hose arrived. Sometimes the stuff on hand is just close enough to get you out of a real pinch.

40% automation by 2025 seems like a lot, but how much of that is just basic stuff? Honestly, I've seen reports like this before and they often overhype. Tbh, most data entry errors come from human mess-ups anyway. Ngl, I doubt automation will fix the real problems overnight. Companies love to talk big numbers but the day-to-day grind stays the same. It's not as serious as they make it sound.
