CANCELLED - LEGAL LEADING THE WAY

In the past two years, we have seen a global explosion in legal technology startups.

With the introduction of artificial intelligence, blockchain, enterprise platforms, and software, the role of lawyers will look vastly different in the coming years. Technology will facilitate and sit at the centre of advice, decisions and process, then be complemented with the human interface delivering traditional business services.
