Turning Regulation Into Competitive Advantage
LegalTech & the AI Act: Expert guidance to stay
compliant and lead with innovation.
Navigating the Future of LegalTech Amidst the EU AI Act
As the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) approaches full implementation, the legal technology (LegalTech) industry stands at a pivotal juncture. This legislation, the world’s first comprehensive AI regulation, introduces a risk-based framework categorizing AI applications into unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risk levels. LegalTech solutions, particularly those involving contract analysis, predictive analytics, and automated legal research, are likely to fall under the high-risk category, necessitating stringent compliance measures.
LegalTech at a Crossroads: Growth
Meets Regulation
As AI reshapes the legal sector, LegalTech is scaling fast—yet the EU AI Act introduces new rules that
redefine risk, compliance, and opportunity. Navigating this shift is essential for sustainable innovation and
market leadership.
LegalTech is booming,
driven by AI adoption
The AI Act brings both challenges and opportunities for LegalTech.
The global market is set to grow from $38.8B (2029) to $65.5B (2034), with AI-specific segments jumping from $1.5B to $3.9B by 2030. AI can automate up to 74% of billable work—fueling efficiency and a 34% rise in flat-fee billing since 2016.
Implications of the AI Act
for LegalTech
The AI Act brings both challenges and opportunities for LegalTech.
High-risk AI tools face strict compliance demands—transparency, data governance, and conformity checks—posing hurdles especially for SMEs. Yet, the Act also promotes innovation through low-risk AI development, market differentiation, and regulatory sandboxes that support compliant experimentation.
For LegalTech firms aiming to thrive in this new era, the integration
of expert consultancy is not just beneficial—it is essential.

consultants becomes invaluable. These professionals can assist LegalTech companies in:
