"In-house teams are dealing with a growing volume of AI-generated, low-merit claims. Many are lengthy, legalistic and built from templates. Businesses say they rarely stand up, but they still consume time and budget, and are driving greater spend on cyber cover and claims handling."
"Around 35% of in-house legal teams reported an uptick in claims, particularly from customers, where AI tools are being used to produce lengthy, highly structured legal arguments. While many of these claims lack substantive merit, they are often sophisticated enough to require detailed review and formal response."
UK businesses face mounting legal and financial pressure from AI-generated claims, with 35% of in-house legal teams reporting increased low-merit claims primarily from customers. These AI-produced claims are lengthy, structured, and sophisticated enough to require detailed review and formal response, yet rarely succeed. The burden consumes significant time and budget for organizations already operating under tight margins, particularly affecting mid-sized firms with limited internal legal resources. Data protection and privacy breaches emerge as the most significant AI-related litigation threat, cited by 55% of respondents. Cyber insurance costs are rising sharply, with nearly 70% of businesses reporting higher premiums and two-thirds expanding coverage or reassessing liability limits.
