Recent Trends in Legal Tech 21 March 2018 Pia Ek Partner, Head of Digital & TMT and Outsourcing Castrén & Snellman Attorneys Ltd
"The most pressing issue is making sure the industrialization of the legal sector is global and not slowed down by national or regional isolation. Technology knows no borders, but legal markets can create barriers. We need to work on the global cooperation of legal tech initiatives to break down silos and work together across borders for the good of all users of legal services." by Richard Tromans Castrén & Snellman 2
