The rise of Lawtech
UK - LegalFutures
Lawtech’ is an increasingly used buzzword in the legal industry as more and more firms switch on to the potential it has. Not to mention the huge amount of investment that’s driving the industry forward at quite a pace! Financial backing has almost tripled over the past two years, with £62m being invested in Lawtech start-ups so far this year.
What does Lawtech actually mean?
The Law Society describes Lawtech as ‘technologies that aim to support, supplement or replace traditional methods for delivering legal services, or that improve the way the justice system operates.’ It consists of forward looking law firms that have these technologies embedded into their operations, and vendors that are developing and providing these services to them.
