Robots predicted to make major savings for legal departments

Legal departments will increasingly rely on technology and the advances of artificial intelligence and robots to deliver cost-effective legal services, GCs say. Already AI has had an impact on contract review and e-discovery, while M&A transactions have also seen the benefits of AI on due diligence. This is just one of the subjects for discussion at the GC Futures Summit 2016 in London on I November, which will be attended by 150 general counsel from around the globe. Other issues on the agenda include: leading during times of change; harnessing innovation in the legal profession; managing commercial risk; cyber-security and demonstrating the value of legal teams.
