Foley & Lardner LLP partner Whit Johnson joined leading attorneys across Utah at a recent roundtable on the legal industry hosted by Utah Business.
In the article summarizing the discussion, “‘Capitalism finds a way:’ A roundtable with Utah’s legal professionals,” Johnson described what he is seeing across the state’s legal market. He said macroeconomic conditions have introduced uncertainty and some clients are taking a more cautious approach to new projects as a result, though he emphasized that Foley continues to see strong opportunities, especially in places like Utah with a vibrant business climate.
As costs rise, Johnson said he has seen clients deploy creative solutions developed to help mitigate expenses—particularly involving generative artificial intelligence, and underscored that while innovative technology can drive efficiencies, their effectiveness hinges on precise implementation and strategic alignment.
