Nashville law firms are increasingly expanding their specialties, with several adding new practice areas in response to the city’s growth and demand for legal services. In a report from the Nashville Business Journal, firms like Thompson Burton and Adams and Reese have significantly broadened their practices, incorporating areas such as business immigration, artificial intelligence (AI) and entertainment law. As AI technology becomes more integral to the legal field, firms such as Baker Donelson and Sherrard Roe Voigt & Harbison have introduced dedicated AI teams to help clients navigate legal challenges related to AI, while others, like Lewis Thomason, have implemented policies to ensure AI is used only for non-substantive tasks due to data privacy concerns. There are many variations in the use of AI, based on the individual firm’s field of practice, but, the paper reports there "seems to be an agreement on the establishment of clear guide rails and that AI cannot replace the human touch or nuance of legal practice."
