WHAT IS LEGAL TECH?
The field of legal technology deals with a variety of technological services aimed at one of the following two goals:
- Improving and optimizing both the quality and the accuracy of materials produced by both the individual lawyer and the law firm.
- Providing technological solutions to law firms, and via the firms – to the end customers – (B2B2C) who are not familiar with the legal system, and to whom the players in the field, including lawyers, courts, regulators, governmental systems etc. are unable to assist.
For example, a common issue facing many law firms today is the practice of hourly billing. This outdated approach can lead to uncertainty and increased costs for clients. To address this problem, numerous legal tech companies worldwide offer online legal document services at fixed prices, ensuring transparency and saving clients money. These services, however, do not replace the services of a lawyer, but do reach an audience that law firms do not normally reach, such as people who cannot afford a good lawyer.
Regarding the legal tech sector in Israel and the world:
Leading law firms worldwide recognize that change is inevitable. As the world becomes increasingly automated, clients expect quick and efficient services, similar to what they receive from other applications. The legal industry is facing growing competition, especially in Israel. To stay competitive and meet the demand for immediate information, law firms must embrace and adopt new technologies. Legal-tech solutions are no novelty in the ‘Start-up Nation’. Both small and major law firms are publicizing their legal-tech systems as part of their competitive added value, and in parallel, legal-tech companies are enjoying a growing reputation, raising capital and even seeking international markets into which they can expand. The trend is promising, yet there is much room for growth, as many ‘old school’ lawyers recoil from adopting new technologies – and this is precisely where we step in.
