AI and technology are driving change in litigation workflows
Explore perspectives from partners and senior lawyers on how case management and case strategy solutions are shaping the future of litigation.
report AI-enhanced case strategy software is a competitive advantage
believe that AI-enabled technology is necessary to stay ahead
agree that case strategy combined with case management delivers value
Adapting to the shifting litigation landscape
Driven in part by regulatory and economic factors, most participants expect caseloads to rise in the coming year. Paired with increasing complexity, data volumes, and data types, these market conditions may present challenges. Litigation teams must take a proactive approach to stay ahead.
”Courts are not tolerant of excuses about a lack of understanding of technology because judges are more sophisticated and understand that the volume of data involved is much higher with increased scrutiny on the analysis of new data types.”
Artificial intelligence remains an advantage
Unsurprisingly, among the partners and lawyers surveyed, AI remains a top priority. Most have adopted new solutions in the last year, agreeing that AI will be essential to stay ahead moving forward.
Some partners and senior lawyers rely upon their litigation team to leverage case management and strategy technology, while others leverage these solutions themselves.
”My practice has undergone significant changes; largely due to the use of AI. I do more work directly; I can accomplish more quickly on my own and provide significantly faster client responses and analysis.“
Case strategy technology benefits are clear
Despite agreeing on the value of using AI in litigation management workflows, lawyers report that administrative tasks and manual processes still take up too much time.
- 74% would prefer to spend more time on theory and evidentiary goals
- 90% agree that quicker access to insights and evidence is an advantage
- 81% say using AI to connect facts and address evidentiary gaps is valuable
”For a firm of our size, given our client base, if we do not use an AI-enhanced case strategy, we will be at a disadvantage because all of our competitors are using it.“
