Legal Tech

Legal tech refers to software and AI tools that automate or assist legal work, including contract review, e-discovery, legal research, and document drafting. For enterprise governance teams, it matters because these tools often process privileged and confidential client data, and their outputs can carry professional liability if errors go unchecked. Compliance and legal leaders need to evaluate vendor data handling, accuracy controls, and the rules bar associations and regulators are setting on lawyers' use of AI.
