Legal technology has taken hold across the merger and acquisition (M&A) lifecycle, according to a new survey released today by Litera. And to hear law firm M&A practices tell it, more investment in M&A-centric legal tech is on the way.

The “Litera Technology in M&A Report” found that M&A teams have adopted a wide variety of legal technologies, with seven of the 15 types of tech surveyed in use by more than half of M&A teams surveyed. These technologies ran the gamut of the M&A process as well, with contract review (65%) as the most used, followed by digital signature (61%) and project management (58%) technologies.
