Knowledge
Interviews, analyses and reviews from the network – on Legal Tech, AI and the legal market.
In our magazine, we make sense of what's happening in Legal Tech, AI and the legal market: new tools, rulings, legislation and insights from practice. Many articles also appear in the German Legal Tech Summit magazine.
If you want to go deeper, you’ll find use cases and the legal framework on the topic pages, training in the Academy, and conversations with practitioners in the Podcast.
Microsoft is bringing legal AI directly into Word, the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht) is drawing consequences from an unchecked AI-generated submission, Freshfields is considering its own AI venture, and Legora raises $550 million. Four developments that have shaped the legal market over the past two weeks.
In this interview, Dr Benedikt Epe Quarch, Co-Director of the German Legal Tech Hub, assesses how far AI has already made inroads into law firms, legal departments, the judiciary and public administration – and explains why he expects day-to-day life in law firms to change significantly within one to two years.
AI agents read statements of claim, carry out research and draft the pleading themselves – with humans only checking at defined control points. What this means for young lawyers, law firms and a judiciary that isn't upgrading at the same pace.
Podcast · Legal Tech Talk
In Legal Tech Talk, produced with KSB Intax, guests from the legal market discuss what's changing – from AI-powered research to legal operations and new career paths. Episodes are available as video.
All episodes“AI is rarely the real project. The real project is the processes.”
In conversation with Dr Lasse Milinski, one thing quickly became clear: the greatest potential in the legal market doesn't come from individual tools, but from the interplay of technology, processes and data.
As Head of Delivery and Products at eagle lsp | Legal Tech Service Provider, Lasse brings a perspective still rarely heard in the Legal Tech space: that of an industrial engineer.
We talk about,
– why many companies first need to get their data and processes under control before AI can unlock its full potential,
– why the real challenge is often not the technology but the implementation,
– how a processing time of three to five days can suddenly shrink to under two hours,
– and why the market is currently shifting from pure tool enthusiasm towards genuine use cases.
Of particular interest: the discussion on how legal teams and legal departments should view AI not in isolation, but as part of an end-to-end business process.
A conversation about automation, scaling and how legal work can be made more efficient in future.

“We mustn't focus solely on the cutting edge.”
Artificial intelligence is transforming the legal market at a rapid pace. While some law firms and legal departments are already working intensively with AI, many lawyers are still facing a very different question:
Where do I even begin?
Anisja Porschke, qualified lawyer and co-founder of the AI Legal Club, talks about this in the latest episode of Legal Tech Talk.
In conversation, topics include,
– why training plays a key role in the successful introduction of AI,
– why the Legal Tech industry needs to bring the wider legal profession along – not just talk about the latest features,
– and why communities, networks and personal exchange remain more important than ever, despite all technological developments.
Because the future of law is shaped not by technology alone, but by people who are willing to learn from one another and forge new paths together.

“Accumulating knowledge no longer gets you anywhere.”
A sentence from Prof. Dr Volker Römermann, CSP, that gives food for thought.
As a lawyer, author of numerous specialist publications and editor of legal commentaries, Prof. Dr Volker Römermann has spent years studying the changes taking place in the legal market. In conversation with Celia Paulina Strauch, he offers a fascinating perspective on how artificial intelligence will transform legal work, training and the transfer of knowledge.
In conversation, we discuss,
– why AI could partly replace traditional legal commentaries in future,
– why legal studies and training are facing fundamental change,
– and why lawyers will need to memorise less in future and instead work in a more analytical, strategic and practice-oriented way.
Of particular interest: Prof. Dr. Römermann points to the first AI-supported online commentaries on the market and explains why this development in particular could fundamentally change the traditional understanding of legal literature.
A fascinating look at the future of a profession that is changing faster than ever before.
