FTI Consulting announced the launch of IQ.AI Studio on March 10 2026. The studio is a proprietary library of generative‑AI tasks, models and processes that builds on the firm’s existing IQ.AI platform, which was introduced in 2024 and supports antitrust, data‑breach, investigations and cross‑border litigation across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The new studio expands the IQ.AI platform by providing clients with a curated set of expert‑tested AI tasks and the ability to create custom workflows. The library is designed to deliver consistency, data insights and cost savings for legal and regulatory work, allowing in‑house counsel to accelerate routine tasks and focus on higher‑value analysis.
A separate report by FTI Consulting and data‑intelligence partner Relativity shows that AI adoption in corporate legal departments has nearly doubled year‑over‑year. According to the report, 87 % of general counsel now use generative AI, up from 44 % in 2025. The study also found that 39 % of legal teams view AI as a strategic priority and 70 % plan to invest in new technologies within the next 12 months, underscoring the growing importance of AI in legal operations.
Sophie Ross, Global CEO of FTI Technology, emphasized that the studio will enable clients to launch expert‑tested AI tasks and build custom workflows, aiming to deliver consistency, data insights and cost savings. Her comments highlight the firm’s focus on providing defensible, high‑quality AI solutions that meet the rigorous demands of corporate legal departments.
The launch positions FTI as a leader in AI‑enabled legal services and could expand its market share in the in‑house legal technology segment. The studio is expected to be a key growth driver, aligning with FTI’s broader AI strategy and reinforcing its reputation for delivering reliable, defensible AI solutions. The announcement comes on the heels of strong financial performance: Q4 2025 revenue rose 10.7 % to $990.75 million, and adjusted earnings per share increased 14.1 % to $1.78. Full‑year 2025 revenue reached $3.79 billion, a 2.44 % increase from 2024, while the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 10.7 % from 8.2 % the previous year, reflecting effective cost control and a favorable mix of high‑margin AI‑driven services.
FTI’s management has expressed confidence in its AI strategy, noting that the firm’s AI capabilities are designed to provide clients with “impactful, tested, logical uses of generative AI to enrich their understanding of critical matters and reduce the burden of uncovering information within large document populations.” The company’s continued investment in AI and its ability to deliver defensible solutions position it well to capture the growing demand for AI in legal operations, even as the competitive landscape intensifies.
