The AI Disbursement You're Not Charging - The economics of legal AI changed in 2025–26 and they keep changing. Letting it sit as overhead is no longer a neutral choice.

Every law firm passes on disbursements — title searches, couriers, filing fees. AI should be no different. But right now, most solos and firms are either avoiding AI because they see it as a cost they can't justify, or they’re already using it and absorbing the entire subscription into overheads whilst billing fewer hours. Either way, you're losing money. AI is a recoverable cost — your clients should be paying for it, not you.

The problem? Most AI platforms make it impossible to pass the cost on, and the compliance is fiddly. Your costs agreement needs the right wording, your disclosure has to line up, and your file needs to justify every charge. Get it wrong and you're facing a costs dispute — or a complaint to the Legal Services Commissioner or Law Society.

This webinar is a plain-English walkthrough that gives you everything you need to start recovering your AI spend properly. You'll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of the key compliance issues practitioners need to address to recover legal AI costs
• Practical examples of how AI-related costs can be structured and explained to clients
• Suggested clause language for your costs agreements
• A deployment checklist for getting costs recoverability right from day one
