Aims and objectives
Legaltech and lawtech are terms used to describe the technology used by legal service providers and the justice community to help them deliver legal services or resolve disputes. It includes the technology to allow businesses and individuals to take care of their own legal matters.

Legal practitioners, academics and businesses are learning about, implementing, and developing a range of technologies for lawyers, judges and courts.
Recognising the importance of technology and innovation for the future of the legal services profession and the administration of justice, Legaltech Talks is a series of talks developed by Law Society Skillnet. The talks will be made available as complementary online on-demand talks throughout 2023. The aim of Legaltech Talks is to give practitioners the information about technology and innovation and how it can enhance the provision of legal services.
