Paragon Legal Research Finds 56% of Organizations Lack Formal AI Governance as Legal Teams Accelerate Adoption
A Paragon Legal research report found that more than half of organizations have no formal AI governance framework in place, even as legal teams are increasing their use of AI tools.
Why this matters: More than half of organizations are adopting AI without any formal rules for how it gets used. That gap is not theoretical. Legal teams handle privileged information, client data, and sensitive disputes. When those teams use AI tools without governance, there is no clear answer for who is responsible if something goes wrong, what data the tool touches, or how decisions get reviewed. Adoption moving faster than oversight is exactly when mistakes become hard to catch and harder to fix.
