An emphasis on natural language processing (NLP), AI, and robotic process automation (RPA) will gain prominence to manage legal matters seamlessly.

Compliance and Legal tech companies have introduced regulatory and filling services and reduced costs.

Legal tech developers are poised to inject funds into advanced technology amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic reflected the need for more legal functions for legal departments, triggered tailwinds, and spurred the demand for cloud and other state-of-the-art technologies. Moreover, heightened demand for corporate transaction work post-COVID has prompted tech developers to prioritize machine learning and NLP technologies.
