he evolution of legal technolo
in the past decade has been
nothing short of stunning. But the
creation of a multitude of digital,
data-driven, tech-enabled tools
and processes hasn't solved the problem of creating
order from the chaos of data. Evolution does not
equal adoption, and with more cases, more data,
more technolo, and sweeping regulatory change:
all create a continuously morphing cluster of
problems conspiring to keep legal and compliance
teams awake at night.
And then came COVID-19, bringing with it an
entirely new layer of complexity in compliance and
data privacy that the world has never experienced.
Data privacy risks are exponentially increased now
due to the onslaught of new privacy laws and an
abruptly assembled remote workforce.
In this environment, creating order from
the chaos of data is critical, and there is no out-
of-a-box solution when every situation brings a
nuanced complexity requiring a specific outcome.
At the foundation, increased privacy regulations,
like the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
in Europe or California's Consumer Privacy Act
