1. Generative AI to be integrated in majority of lawyers’ workflow;
2. Lawyers under pressure to invest in technology and use it more widely;
3. Client demand for expert ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) guidance increasing;
4. Talent recruitment and retention impacting law firms or legal departments in the next three years;
5. Most lawyers impacted by heavy, complex workloads;
6. The legal sector strives to improve employees’ experience through increased Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) practices;
