Swedish online providers of legal tools continue to release software programmes containing AI legal assistance, including legal research, drafting of legal texts and contract reviews. Discussions around AI-generated legal services have been on the table for a while and there will be a continued increase in the use of AI tools within the legal profession on a day-to-day basis. It will be vital to keep up the discussion on how such technology can be used safely, especially in sensitive areas of the legal profession. Several law firms are already hesitant about letting their lawyers use AI tools, and we predict an increase in claims over the disclosure of confidential information.
