Law firms can improve their professional development opportunities and make their organizations more inclusive with the help of technology. Artificial intelligence can reduce the time lawyers spend on repetitive administrative tasks. While legal documents remain an industry staple, firms and internal legal departments need solutions that help them streamline business operations. For example, law firms use chatbots to automate responses to questions about billing or as part of their marketing strategies.Artificial Intelligence-powered solutions actively review available caselaw, highlighting the ones most applicable to the attorney or paralegal's search. They provide summaries and context, reducing the time people spend looking for the right case law to support their argument.Another major trend in the legal industry is adoption of cloud-native solutions.
