- Summary:
- For the past decade, growth in the legal industry has been negligible. Technology offers new solutions to working with legal matters and challenges both the organizing and pricing structure of law firms. In most industries, this would equal a digital change or transformation process, led by the major players. But the legal industry is old and highly institutionalized, used to self-regulation and autonomy. Most law firms are reluctant to use new technologies, other than to support their existing structures. However, recent years have seen the emergence of legal tech companies offering legal services driven by digital technologies and using new pricing models. This has, to a large extent, happened under the radar of the established firms. Now they are starting to come out of the shadows. We see successful career lawyers switch sides and join or form their own legal tech companies. So far, in the traditional industry, lawyers are shrugging their shoulders and saying that business is good--nothing has changed. But things are changing and changing fast. Mr. Petersen is facing a rude awakening when a young successful lawyer tells him she wants to leave his firm and start her own legal tech firm. He decides to investigate the phenomenon of legal tech and embarks on a journey of discovery. Still, he is not really sure what it means for his firm and for the legal industry in general.
