Legal Research Software Market Dynamics
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the law practice, as the legal profession is increasingly using AI-based software to reduce costs and time taken for completing a task. Legal research software assists lawyers to complete narrowly defined work and reduce repetitive and time-consuming tasks at a low cost. Growing use of AI for legal research by law firms helps in reducing the margin of error and overall inefficiencies as compared to the traditional method of legal research.
Moreover, legal research software helps to speed up research processes, increases output, and improves quality by reducing errors. Additionally. Rising awareness about legal research software among law firms in Asia Pacific is expected to drive the demand for legal research software during the forecast period.
Increasing awareness about legal AI software in the corporate legal department along with efficient use of technology in countries such as India, which is emerging as a legal tech hub, is responsible for increasing demand for legal research software. Law firms and corporate legal departments are modernizing business models to stand out in a hypercompetitive market. Introduction of next-generation legal research software helps law firms to conduct research smoothly and efficiently.
However, Artificial intelligence positively affected the law industry by making work less time-consuming, easy, and effective; however, these technologies possess the risk of cyber-attacks, cybersecurity, and economic constraints. For instance, cloud-based software for legal research is vulnerable to data breaches and intruder attacks and creates privacy issues for law firms over their data.
Many law firms are hesitant to shift to cloud-based legal research software, as they are concerned about data confidentiality. The number of ransomware attackers increased during COVID-19 especially in law firms. According to American Bar Association, nearly 29% of law firms reported a security breach.
Legal research software contain millions of documents in the repositories for legal professionals. These documents help in processing huge data at a high speed and are useful for extracting additional insights. Demand for data-driven decisions by legal professionals is growing, as lawyers make confident decisions by collecting and analyzing data. Data-driven legal decisions assist lawyers to focus on value-driven activities.
Data-driven law firms use analytics and provide information to make strategic and smart decisions; therefore, growing demand for data-driven decisions by legal professionals is projected to create opportunities in the market.
