The Law Society of England & Wales has stated that it wants to help law firms adopt the latest legal technologies, including AI, as well as invest in start-ups, in a report published this week titled ‘Capturing Technological Innovation in Legal Services’.
The report, which looked at where the current state of legal technology is, gives a broad and eclectic overview of what various interviewees think. But, perhaps the most interesting aspect is the Law Society’s determination to play an active part in the legal tech sector, rather than sit on the sidelines.
The Law Society, which is in effect the union for English solicitors, while the SRA handles the regulatory matters, says: ‘…there are opportunities for the Law Society to engage with members on this journey.’
