Trends driving legal services and reimagining legal tech
GENERATIVE AI
Driving LLMs and parameters to harness capabilities
Traditional legal practices involve working with unstructured data — whether by producing responsive documents for a case, processing language-based data collected for litigation, or filing form based applications. AI and machine learning are streamlining legal research, document analysis, evidence preparation, compliance monitors, and administrative tasks.
TRANSACTIONAL LAW AND AUTOMATION
Employing features so clients self-serve repeatable activities
Many types of law — business formation, real estate, estate planning, intellectual property — are centered on form completion and fulfillment. The requirements differ by state and can be complex, but ultimately, they’re repeatable. These types of law are increasingly served by digital automation at scale.
NEW PRODUCT OPPORTUNITIES
Helping entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs spin up new products
Cybersecurity, cannabis, labor, elder law, energy, intellectual property, health, and student loan laws are all showing significant growth. Opportunities for new products, as well as collaborative tools for buyers of legal services and attorneys, are ripe for creation in these areas.
