These numbers reflect a clear trend: legal departments are embracing digital tools to manage growing workloads and expand their strategic influence.
🔍 What’s Inside the Report?
The 2025 edition dives deep into:
- How legal teams are structuring operations and managing workload distribution.
- The rise of outsourcing strategies and collaboration with external partners.
- Trends in legal tech budgets and the adoption of tools like CLM, GenAI, and automation.
It also highlights a growing digital divide: while some departments are accelerating their transformation, others remain static — often due to a lack of budget or strategic direction.
