Extract from Josh Blandi’s article “We’re Entering the Golden Age of Legal Technology”
There are few things more exciting than a revolution. Seeing a revolution unfold—and taking advantage of the opportunities it presents—is even more exciting!
The good news is that the revolution in legal technology is just beginning. We are truly entering the Golden Age in terms of technology improvements that will benefit legal professionals everywhere. Here are three reasons why and how we can take advantage of this Golden Age of Legal Technology.
Explosion of Innovation
Technological capabilities—including the ability to automate workflows and leverage artificial intelligence to obtain greater insight into data—are being introduced to the legal market faster than ever. The rapid adoption of generative AI capabilities is driving more rapid deployment of new technology advancements.
That was clearly evident at this year’s Legalweek conference. In past conferences, technological innovations were building up. But it seems innovation has exploded in the last couple of years. I don’t think I’ve seen more innovative things happening in legal tech at any time since I started in the field over a decade ago.
