Market demand
2Is the AI tools for lawyers market growing in 2026?
Shrinking, but visits without CoCounsel are up 9.5% on a year ago.
Over two years, visits went from 4.6M in November 2024 to a high of 9.4M in December 2024, fell to 5.6M in July 2026, and recovered to 6.0M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, CoCounsel, which is why I also look at the market without it.

WorldVisits a month to AI tools for lawyers sites, worldwide
Miles explains
I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.
Search trends

Google Trends barely registered “ai tools for lawyers” until June 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in September 2025. Americans make 36% of the searches but only 33.6% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from United Kingdom, India and Canada.

Miles explains
Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.
Monthly analysis
4What changed in the AI tools for lawyers market in October 2026?
Fewer visits than a year ago only because of CoCounsel, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.
The fastest growers over the year, Sirion, Icertis and DoNotPay, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by StrongSuit, lost most of their search visits (-100%).
- Visits vs September 2026
- -2%
- Biggest gain this month
- Icertis +36%
- Biggest loss this month
- Portant -27%
Falling fastest, year on year
StrongSuit-99.9%
Gavel-86%
SpotDraft-69%
Miles explains
Huge percentages like Sirion’s +696% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.
Monthly forecast
5What happens next for AI tools for lawyers?
I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.
The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.
- Expected in November 2026
- 5,965,658 visits
- Likely range
- 5.5M to 6.4M
- Expected in May 2027
- 6.0M +0.001%
- Past forecasts in range
