The author argues that this instinct is misguided.<\/li>\n<li>Transparency regarding AI usage is not just for client satisfaction but serves the firm\u2019s internal interests. It helps firms identify successful AI applications, train effectively, and allocate resources intelligently.<\/li>\n<li>In today\u2019s competitive market, law firms that track and communicate AI usage will demonstrate current capabilities and strategic depth, which positions them favorably against competitors.<\/li>\n<li>Embracing AI transparency is crucial as clients increasingly request information about AI use in requests for proposals (RFPs). This transparency allows firms to confidently showcase their AI-driven innovation and the value it brings.<\/li>\n<li>The article concludes that firms that do not track AI usage risk forfeiting their narrative to clients, potentially losing out on market leadership opportunities in a tech-driven legal landscape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI Billing Transparency Tells a Story That\u2019s Good for Law Firms https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/legal-exchange-insights-and-commentary\/ai-billing-transparency-tells-a-story-thats-good-for-law-firms Publish Date: 2026-05-11&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211861,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/bwrite-static.bloombergindustry.com\/dims4\/default\/dfc6aed\/2147483647\/legacy_thumbnail\/960x370%3E\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbloomberg-bna-brightspot.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fe4%2F57%2F8658b4b142058cfe061e467c4b9f%2Fbli-2025-good-counsel-eric-greenberg-lead-image.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-211860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211860"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211860"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211862,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211860\/revisions\/211862"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
