The International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) recently published Legal Technology Future Horizons Transformational Forces, its leadership study on the future of technology in law. The study, conducted throughout 2013, is designed to “inform the development of future IT strategy and decision-making for ILTA members across the globe,” says Randi Mayes, ILTA’s executive director.

The study focuses on law firms and attempts to map out the future of the legal industry. While many attribute financial pressures to the changes in business over the past few years, technology may be the biggest catalyst for further changes.
