From Paper to Platform: How LegalTech Is Revolutionizing the Practice of Law<\/strong><\/a> — from markets.financialcontent.com by AB Newswire<\/p>\n

For decades, practicing law has been a business about paper \u2014 contracts, case files, court documents, and floor-to-ceiling piles of precedent. But as technology transforms all aspects of modern-day business, law firms and in-house legal teams are transforming along with it. The development of LegalTech has revolutionized what was previously a paper-driven, manpower-intensive profession into a data-driven digital web of collaboration and automation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
