Those people are usually very talented and work 16/7. And they need to convince other similar people to work for them, usually at a lower-than-market rate.

The premise here is "talented humans working hard" will stop being a valuable thing due to AI.

Law firms are not factories or retail shops. Most of them are just one guy, or a partnership.

They're similar to IT, in that you can be successful as a one-man business.
