The Next Legal Frontier - Part 1

At the recent LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions' InterAction Share event in London, I shared with delegates my insight and advice in relation to the rise of smart technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and robots in the legal ecosystem and how these technologies are being, and will be, deployed in the industry. By addressing all of the above, it naturally led to my tackling the challenging question "what is the next legal frontier?" It's important to realise and understand that it is inevitable that the roles of lawyers, general counsel, marketers, business development, social media and CRM specialists etc. are going to change in light of such overwhelming technological advances. The question that is hotly debated today is whether advanced technologies will support or replace lawyers. Well, the research speaks volumes.
