Not trying to be dismissive here but a lawyer will always edit your proposal. I do think lawyers will persist but not as many. And they will work very differently, much like we already use claude / codex to code - a big part of the contract probably won't be read by the lawyer.
I think the argument goes, even if 90% of a lawyers markups aren't useful, the 10% that are, are basically what you're paying them for.
I would rather argue they SPECIFICALLY will read everything. However, they'll likely often just be like "I'd phrase this differently but that works, too".
Have you watched Nathan for you? There is a lawyer that didn’t read on tv. And almost got in trouble.
