The International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) recently published a report titled “Legal Technology Future Horizons.” Research and analysis were conducted by Fast Future Research. This 140-page report shows in which direction the legal industry is headed technologically. The report contains several profound statistics on the future role of technology in the legal industry. The following statistics were derived from surveying more than 500 executives and thought leaders in the legal industry.
- 73% agree that the capacity for technological innovation will be a critical differentiator for law firms in the future.
- 88% agree that emerging technologies will become an integral part of courts in developed countries.
- 77% believe that IT industries will rapidly enter the legal industry.
While these statistics represent the views of many law firm executives, legal industry professionals remain one of the occupational groups most resistant to using new technologies. Law firms are trying to combat this general anti-technology paradigm by implementing technology training courses. These courses teach all the commands of relevant applications. However, what law firm professionals need to learn most is how to integrate these applications into their daily workflow.
In a recent article on Legal IT Professionals , Rohit Talwar, the CEO of Fast Future Research, stated that “technology must now sit at the heart of business strategy for law firms.” Law firms, according to Talwar, must have a “future-focused, IT-enabled business strategy backed up with continued investment.” Talwar goes on to explain that law firms must learn to use new technologies in order to thrive in a “constantly evolving environment.” Cloud services are one type of IT service that has been increasingly popular in the legal industry.
