AJ Shankar from forbes said that Law is among the slowest industries to adopt new technology. Lawyers are culturally risk-averse; it comes with the job title. Litigators are also accustomed to the pace of courts, where cases can take years to be resolved and don’t move at the speed of 5G. For corporate lawyers, deals tend to drag on, too. Those problems are amplified by attorney-client privilege, the requirements of trust and keeping data and communications confidential and secure. As a result, many legal teams have been slow to try new technologies like cloud-based software, citing security concerns.
Even before Covid-19, lawyers acknowledged they were tech laggards. A Gartner CEO survey from December 2018 found that legal departments positioned to support digital business efforts can increase on-time project delivery by 63% and increase the number of digital projects with appropriate risk management measures in place by 46%.
