The legal services industry iscurrently entering a phase ofdeep transformation. Increasingly, tasks are being automated and key services commoditized. Clients are empowered and professionals musttherefore focus on creating,and sustaining, value-added services. This evolution has yielded anew ecosystem for theindustry, composed of lawyers,entrepreneurs, investors,academics and professionals.

LEGAL MARKET EVOLUTIONChristoph Kueng, co-founder & president

The Swiss LegalTech Association(SLTA) is a neutral, nonprofitassociation which offers aframework for those groups tocreate value together. We support the legal industryby providing a betterunderstanding of the legaltechnology market. We foster the development ofSwitzerland as a hub for legaltechnology. We are publicly recognized asthe industry representative andhave a consultative voice onrelevant legislation. Join the association and reapthe advantages of collectiveintelligence! Christoph Kueng

In 2012 Prof. Richard Susskind—in his publication “Tomorrow’sLawyers”—predicted that legaladvisers would face three mainchallenges: 1) More for less: Legal servicesproviders will be asked by theirclients— themselves underpressure—to deliver betterservices for lower prices. Thequestion is how to achievethis? 2) Liberalization of the legalmarket: New actors haveemerged and they are currentlyproviding legal services online.How should lawyers positionthemselves? 3) Information technology:Clients are growingaccustomed to receiving tailor-made services that widely relyon information technology.There are also opportunities tosignificantly improve businesspractices and management.

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE INTERESTThe legal market is shifting. We provide insightand guidance to help you adapt smoothly.

The SLTA is the leadingorganization in Switzerlandaddressing these challenges. We raise awareness on theevolution of legal services andact as a think tank to examineand illuminate changes in thelegal field arising from the useof technology. We investigatethese changes and formulatesolutions and publish them inwhite papers. We provide support to startupswishing to enter the LegalTechmarket. We analyze and verifybusiness concepts with regardsto their future prospects andsustainability as well as theirmarket attractiveness. We also organize round-tableconferences to discuss—andconstantly improve upon—current LegalTech experiences. "Technology is having a

profound effect on the world

around us. Lawyers who fail to

acknowledge this fact and adapt

accordingly will undoubtedly

pay the price."
