The AI revolution in LegalTech: Transforming the global landscape

Updated: Oct 7



As we stand on the brink of a new-age technological revolution in the form of AI, IoT, Blockchain and Data driven analytics, the legal sector is witnessing monumental changes which not only has the capacity to reshape traditional practices but also to redefine the very essence of legal work. In fact, AI powered tools are ushering in an era wherein human ingenuity is protected and routine tasks are automated. This not only makes complex analyses possible, but also leads to a more equitable legal system.


In this article we explore the present landscape of AI and LegalTech, examining how these advancements are reshaping the legal sector and their implications. 



AI Revolution in LegalTech: Perspectives and Impact

As AI intersects with the justice system, the legal world  will witness a profound transformation. Currently, the  role of AI is expanding across various industries, in a manner which  redefines traditional practices and ushers in efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility. This shift goes beyond mere technological advancement;since it hints at a future where technology and law coexist in seamless harmony.


From the client’s perspective, they will find that they benefit from the use of innovative technologies in legal services, which is capable of  providing them with faster and more cost-effective legal advice and representation. This effectively broadens the reach of high-quality legal support, creating a more inclusive approach to legal aid and removing barriers to getting legal counsel.


For legal practitioners, AI in LegalTech will act as a powerful ally as it will streamline workflows, improve the precision of legal assessments and automate monotonous tasks, sift through massive amounts of data for relevant information, and even predict outcomes with considerable accuracy. This will free up time and enable lawyers to focus more on complex legal tactics and client interactions. In fact, it is in all likeliness that  by embracing technology, legal practitioners will find themselves to be more effective and knowledgeable. 



AI in LegalTech: Think Automation, Assistance, and Predictive Analytics


Automation

AI-powered LegalTech solutions simplify the study of contracts, agreements, and data, finding discrepancies, critical points, conflicts, and events while streamlining document management. This replaces hours of precise manual labor, allowing more time to focus on strategic matters. AI also serves as a unifying tool, streamlining user interactions.


Assistance

AI can quickly produce document templates, doing 70-80% of the effort required to create critical papers. Furthermore, it swiftly and accurately responds to questions, locates important case law, identifies existing intellectual property rights, and locates applicable legislation, greatly decreasing research time. AI is also particularly good at developing diagrams and charts, which make processes easier to understand and more efficient.


Assessment and Prediction

One significant application of AI in LegalTech is the use of machine learning to predict case outcomes. By analysing past data on cases and judicial judgements, including the likelihood of claims being allowed or refused, AI can evaluate a case and predict its outcome. Furthermore, several AI programmes consider the 'human element' by analysing judge-specific statistics to improve their predictions.


Need for AI in the LegalTech Industry

The legal profession is famously expensive, limiting access for many people. AI presents the possibility of democratising legal knowledge by providing general access to legal counsel, tactics, rights protection recommendations, relevant rules, and document templates. By doing so, AI supports the fundamental jurisprudential principle of making justice available to anyone in need.


LegalTech Trends in 2024

Based on prior research, we can predict new solutions in the financial-legal sector, as well as the refinement and growth of existing AI-driven LegalTech projects. Digital security and data protection will remain crucial as the risks of fraud with documents, personal data, digital avatars, and copyright objects generated by AI increase.


Examples of AI Success in the Global Legal Tech Landscape 

In early 2024, LegalTech initiatives embracing AI raised more than $100 million in several financing rounds. For example:


  • RobinAI, which focuses on expediting contract preparation and negotiation, raised £21,000,000 in a Series B fundraising round.

  • Spellbook, which is developing a generative AI tool for contract drafting, raised CA$27,000,000 in Series A funding.

  • FirmPilot, which is developing an AI-driven marketing engine for law firms, has raised $2,000,000 in a seed round.

  • CaseBlink, which develops end-to-end workflows for immigration lawyers, has raised $150,000 in a seed round.

  • Legalyze.ai, which offers an AI toolkit for lawyers, raised $100,000 in an angel round.
