In how many ways can the concept be declined in the area of legal services? What place has the technology in all of this? Which role can it really play in the upcoming years? And what about artificial intelligence? What will the new competitive scenario be? And which characteristics the lawyers able to compete in the future will have?

A punctual chronicle that explains the role played in this season not only by the law firms, but also by the start-ups, the legal tech companies, the alternative legal service providers, the big fours and especially customers.

An in-depth journalistic analysis that for the first time addresses the theme from an Italian perspective. Not theories, but facts and figures that show how the future that is so much talked about is, in fact, already present.

Under the lens, the relationships, projects, strategies and backgrounds of a still little known professional élite.
