It's not a secret that world's economy is transitioning
towards a data driven one. Although the legal sector is famous for
its traditionalism and resistance to change, it is resilient and
permeable to the digital transformation.
The hype (fueled by the latest advances in artificial
intelligence1 and enabled by the changes in data storage
and processing2 3 capacity) has already impacted the
legal sector. However, only few players (compared to the total
number of stakeholders in the legal sector4) have
understood what is going on5. Awareness is
rising6 but more than often in the form of fear to the
robolawyer.
The legal sector faces a challenge. For the first time in
centuries, innovation goes further than the invention of the poison
pill. This is a change which some defend that could disrupt the
core structure of the legal sector. Lawyers have been traditionally
creative but never disruptive. What happens if lawyers have to
rethink the whole legal industry?
