In 2022, the economy was a roller coaster, vacillating from the highs of the Great Resignation to the lows of an impending economic downturn, all within a matter of months. These economic swings had signifiant impacts on every industry, and legal tech was certainly no exception.

Amid fears of a potential recession, legal tech users are turning their focus to streamlining their tech stacks, prioritizing integrations, redefining innovation and more.
