The Future of Law – How AI Is Reshaping Legal Services

In Hong Kong, there are over two and a half thousand startups, employing nearly 10,000 people. Companies like Zegal are tapping into this deep talent pool and quickly changing the game for businesses that might have balked at complex legal documentation previously. "Historically, legal has been an intimidating topic area for individual companies, especially small and medium enterprises and law firms," says Tai Hung-Chou, CTO of Zegal. "We provide one place where clients and lawyers can work to get contracts drafted and executed, all online. In the future, with advanced natural language processing and artificial intelligence tools, we will [be able to] allow access to a vast array of legal precedents that can be injected during the drafting process."
