Insights for Legal Technologists
T
he legal field generates vast
amounts of data through
case files, contracts, client
communications, and court
records. This wealth of
information holds significant potential
for improving legal practice. Law firms
are increasingly adopting advanced
technologies like AI to gain insights. A
recent McKinsey report highlights this
trend: "65 percent of respondents report
that their organizations regularly use Gen
AI, nearly double the percentage from our
previous survey just ten months ago." While
this statistic covers various industries, it
underscores the growing importance of
AI in data-intensive fields like law. Using
these technologies to analyze and manage
data allows legal professionals to gain
valuable insights, make informed decisions,
and achieve better client outcomes. Data-
driven project management provides a
framework to utilize data and AI in legal
practice effectively.
