These developments have led to the creation of a new industry, legal tech (LT), which aims at creating technological applications specifically tailored for law and the legal market. Despite the significant uncertainties surrounding LT, the legal professions are approaching a ‘tipping point’, and the legal services market is in need of new business models and talent procurement strategies. The talk will discuss the real implications posed by LT and to advocate for an unbiased, cautious approach for the engagement of technology in legal practice. It is important for the legal community to have a framework for analysing the benefits and costs of new technologies, before implementing them into legal practice. The costs of LT include potential legal and business risks, as well as ethical concerns and technological problems. LT will have profound consequences not only for lawyers, but also for their clients, as well as the economy and legal system as a whole. Time-permitting the talk will touch upon: (1) effects of LT on legal practice; (2) LT and the court systems; (3) LT and small/consumer claims; and (4) fate of the professions. Learning outcomes The audience will obtain a base knowledge of the LT/AI landscape at the present. The audience will be provided a suggested approach on how to implement LT in practice. The audience will be provided a future legal landscape relating to law and judicial practice; efficiency of legal services; expanded legal services; and the new skill sets needed for practice.
