This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the practice of law, analyzing the challenges and opportunities faced by lawyers in the face of this technological transformation. By considering the growing integration of AI in legal research, document analysis, and decision-making, we examine how this technology affects the work of legal professionals. We observe that, while AI can save time and enablegreater efficiency in the provision of legal services, it also presents ethical, legal, and practical challenges, such as issues of confidentiality, transparency, and impartiality. We highlight the importance of the professional training and updating of lawyers so that they can adapt to technological changes and capitalize on the opportunities offered by AI. We conclude that AI is redefining legal practice, providing new tools for lawyers as they continue to play their fundamental role as defenders of individual rights and promoters of a more effective and accessible administration of justice.
