Top law firm cuts back-office staff as it increases use of AI
The Guardian
|November 22, 2025
The law firm Clifford Chance is reducing the number of business services staff at its London base by 10%, with the increased use of artificial intelligence a factor behind the decision.
The head of PwC has also indicated that AI may lead to fewer workers being hired at the accountancy and consulting group.
Clifford Chance, one of the largest international law firms, is making about 50 roles redundant in areas such as finance, HR and IT with role changes for up to 35 other jobs, according to the Financial Times.
Greater use of AI and reduced demand for some business services are behind the cuts, the FT reported, as well as more work being done in Poland and India.

'Glacial pace' Master of slow cinema perfected isolation
The semiofficial genre of “slow cinema” has been around for decades: glacial pacing, unhurried and unbroken takes, characters who appear to be looking - often wordlessly and unsmilingly - at people or things off camera or into the lens itself, the immobile silence accumulating into a transcendental simplicity.
