This year should bring some legal technology trends to the field, so if you aren’t paying attention, here is your sign to start.All lawyers should stay up on legal technology trends to not only stay competitive and efficient, but to understand where the field is heading in the future.
Here are four legal technology trends to watch in 2025:
1. AI. While artificial intelligence might seem like it’s just the latest buzzword in technology circles, AI is here to stay. And for lawyers, it is a chance to streamline and automate services such as document review, contracts and research. The AI tools that are out there today can make your practice more efficient and effective – especially when you are dealing with large amounts of data.
2. Cloud computing. Remote work is a part of everyday life now and allowing your firm to work remotely is a key part of retaining talent. Cloud computing platforms let your staff work wherever there is an internet connection, and they can also provide secure data storage.
3. Blockchain. This technology can be transformative for the legal field, allowing for a decentralized and secure method of data storage and transmission for things like contracts and e-signatures.
4. Online dispute resolution
and e-discovery. Do you need to search and review large amounts of documents? E-discovery tools can help. And if you need to cut down on in-person meetings or court appearances, online dispute resolution, or ODR, can help by allowing matters to be resolved online.
In this day and age, lawyers should be embracing technology to boost productivity and output, serve their clients in better and more cost-effective ways and stay competitive. If you aren’t doing it, chances are your competitors are.
