London is already a world leader in legal innovation, with an ecosystem of international legal headquarters, lawtech firms and supporting organisations incubating and accelerating change. We frequently see new roles developed, and new tools—such as artificial intelligence or data science—incorporated into the way lawyers perform their duties and deliver outcomes to clients. This has greatly improved the accessibility, efficiency and quality of UK-based legal services delivered worldwide.
In light of Covid-19, remote working has also enabled London to serve as a key connection point with regional legal services, incorporating more open and diversified talent.
