As we move into 2025, legal marketers face a rapidly evolving landscape where technology, data, and client expectations intersect — and it’s just the right time of year for making lists! Here are the top 7 trends we are seeing as shaping the future of legal marketing in the coming year.

1. AI Is the Game Changer (Duh!)

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer optional for legal marketing. It’s becoming indispensable for firms that want to stand out in a highly competitive market. From streamlining content creation to uncovering insights from data, AI holds the key to efficiency and effectiveness.

  • Adoption in Legal Marketing: AI is particularly valuable for legal marketers, helping firms identify and prioritize prospects based on their likelihood to convert or specific legal needs. Generative AI, on the other hand, can create tailored thought leadership content, simplifying the production of blog posts, newsletters, and even video scripts for complex legal topics.
  • Challenges: However, AI implementation brings challenges that resonate deeply in the legal field. Concerns about data breaches, the accuracy of AI-generated content, and the risk of brand misalignment are heightened in a profession where trust and precision are paramount.
Expanded Takeaway: Legal marketers should treat AI as a strategic partner. Begin with smaller, controlled implementations — such as automating client onboarding content — before expanding into more advanced use cases. Transparency with clients about AI's role in marketing efforts can further build trust and demonstrate innovation.
