“Lawyers who use technology will replace lawyers who don’t because they won’t be sufficiently efficient going forwards,” asserts Tony Randle, partner at Shoosmiths and head of the firm’s tech and innovation product offering, Shoosmiths8. With the boundless surge in technology permeating the legal industry, the type of legal tech that exists now is “far more disruptive and powerful”; its capability is “straying into areas that are going to have a positive impact on lawyering” by providing a service to clients that is “faster, quicker and more accurate than a human lawyer”.
