Shifting Investment Attitudes in Legal Tech
Law firms are increasingly investing in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly since the emergence of tools like ChatGPT. The risk of automation impacting legal tasks has prompted firms to reconsider their technology budgets, transitioning from viewing tech as a cost to seeing it as a strategic advantage.
