Where Investors See Potential for Growth in the Industry

Automation of Contract Management

According to Business Insider, private equity firms like General Atlantic are focusing investments on legal tech companies that offer the automation of things like contract management.

As we've discussed in this blog many times, law firms are becoming more and more automated with tasks that are repetitive and time-consuming. The longer that this technology is out there, the better it becomes, and the more law firms are choosing to utilize it.

Utilization of AI

What was once a terrifying notion for law firms nationwide is now a commonly implemented tool. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking the legal industry by storm with everything from chatbots to legal research. The use of AI in law firms continues to grow and will expand into several areas of legal practice over the next few decades.

Document Workflow, Collaboration, and Data Management Solutions

One thing that most lawyers realize pretty quickly if they join a small to mid-size firm or venture out as a solo practitioner is that law school does not teach you how to run a business. Practicing law is much different from dealing with the day-to-day tasks of managing a law practice.

The industry is desperate for help in this area which is why private equity firms like Hg are investing big in companies that provide legal workflow software and legal management systems.

E-discovery

It should not come as a shock that the big thing in legal tech is e-discovery. Electronic discovery is allowing lawyers to do their jobs faster and more efficiently, with large volumes of data being able to be stored electronically and produced in an instant.

E-discovery modernizes an antiquated system that use to require rooms full of bulky files. It also fits hand in hand with things like the utilization of AI and automation being adopted by law firms of every size.

Online Legal Services

States across the country are considering expanding the availability of online legal services. Companies that provide this technology make legal services more accessible to the general public by making them more affordable. Vista Equity Partners has already helped online legal service provider Rocket Lawyer achieve success with a significant investment.?
