TMT | LEGALTECH WEBINAR RECAP
The future of legaltech: AI, growth & global M&A trends
As in so many global industries, the legal sector is undergoing extensive change driven by the rapid rise of AI. The result is that the impact of legaltech is becoming increasingly significant for both law firms, in-house corporate teams and investors, whether for workflow automation, widening collaborations or growth prospects.
In light of this, the latest TMT webinar from Oaklins put the spotlight on legaltech and M&A trends, with insights and experiences shared by a top-class expert panel. Moderated by Joanna Stone, partner at Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips in New York, the themes discussed ranged from due diligence to billable hours, the notable rise of PE interest in the legal sector, and the various approaches law firms are taking in dealing with the challenges and opportunities offered by AI.
