Technology solutions will continue to transform the legal landscape, making it easier for legal practitioners to be more mobile, collaborative, and responsive--automating legal analysis and assisting in creating contracts and other legal documents. Undoubtedly, these will continue into the years to come--mobile and cloud computing, data analytics, and machine learning will become increasingly prevalent and used by legal practitioners. However, as these cutting-edge technologies become more commonplace in the legal industry, legal practitioners will have more ways than ever before to streamline and improve day-to-day work processes. In future, most of the legal vendors will adopt extensive cybersecurity measures and will train personnel who can help them vastly enhance their existing eDiscovery processes. Security, Cloud collaboration, and Artificial Intelligence will be on top the ladder--legal practitioners will seek more secure alternatives, with online communications portals viewed as one of the most viable and affordable options for securely sharing and communicating with clients. Moreover, the use of cloud-based legal practice management software to efficiently and affordably run law practices will increase, as will the use of software designed to facilitate collaboration between litigation teams. Legal practitioners will be able to collaborate and share notes about case-related evidence and documents through secure web-based platforms, using litigation case management software--reducing redundancies and inefficiencies in the litigation preparation process. Apart from this, technology tools will be designed to take advantage of AI to streamline timekeeping, contract review, due diligence analysis, legal analytics for litigation and more. Rather than replacing lawyers, AI software will instead remove some of the drudgeries from legal sector--allowing law firms to focus on higher-level analytical thinking and their clients' needs.
