Sometimes law firms’ relationship with legal technology is a little bit of a one step forward two steps back dynamic. And this year’s survey from the International Legal Technology Association showed that that dance is still ongoing in 2023.

In the meantime, the survey showed that firms continue to face growing security challenges and rising costs around the procurement and maintenance of legal tech tools.
