The legal tech landscape is experiencing unprecedented growth, with the global legal tech market measured at USD 24.62 Billion in 2022 according to Spherical Insights & Consulting.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the big legal industry story of 2023, and there are a legion of reasons why. Generative AI’s rapidly expanding capability to perform many legal tasks will impact delivery structures, economics, talent, education, training, career diversification, regulation and compliance, commercial transactions, and dispute resolution.

The exponential rise of generative AI is causing seismic changes in the legal profession. Princeton University concluded in a survey undertaken this year that legal services are set to be the most drastically impacted by generative AI. Indeed, artificial intelligence poses both the biggest threat, and opportunity, that law firms have ever faced. Those who navigate the risk, make quick decisions, and leverage the technology to their advantage, will ride both the immediate wave of success and come out on top in the long-term.
