While artificial intelligence may be a newer addition to some tech stacks, for M&A lawyers, the technology is more familiar—having been integrated into their tools for nearly a decade now.

However, the growth in AI integrations across all legal tech has further propelled AI reliance in the M&A sector, according to Litera's "Technology in M&A Report: AI, Tech Adoption, and Talent Management in the US and Canada."

Not only are attorneys placing more importance on AI-based legal tech, but they are also viewing M&A technology as an integral part of their practice, and devoting higher budgets to tech adoption.
