Technology is revolutionising the legal industry at unprecedented rates. Technological developments infiltrate every part of modern life, and the legal profession is no different. The way we obtain information, organise it and use it is increasingly enhanced by huge and rapid advancements in technology. The potential for new legal tech exists everywhere – in the USA, more than 280 legal tech start-ups have raised $757 million since 2012.[1] Embracing evolving legal technology is no longer a choice if you want to keep pace with the profession. Technology is vital to the success of the modern law firm. The current speed at which the legal industry is evolving is concerning at best – legal tech is gaining momentum. Not only are smart tech solutions already here, they’re constantly updating. Anyone who doesn’t update and improve will be left far behind.
In a world where information is accessible everywhere, lawyers need to be on the top of their game to flourish. This means being embedded in information networks and efficient research systems. Success comes from inclusivity and access. Legal tech benefits the underserviced legal market the most – simple problems can be solved in more affordable ways. New products can provide legal services that were previously unaffordable for customers.[2]
