While the legal industry has been a slow adopter of digital technologies, and traditional corners of the industry fiercely resist transformation, there is no doubt that there is a wealth of opportunity for the sector.

For a minidocumentary on the subject, Digital Nation Australia spoke to Hilary Goodier, partner at Ashurst and co-head of the newlaw division, Ashurst Advance, Ben Allgrove, partner and chief innovation officer at Baker McKenzie, Erin Kanygin, co founder of legal technology not-for-profit, Bumpd. Erin is also a legal transformation lawyer at Gilbert + Tobin, and Laura Keily, barrister at the Victorian Bar and founder and managing director of legaltech company Immediation.
