Legal Tech outlook 2021
By Linklaters
After the seismic events of 2020, the new year offers new hope for tackling the Covid-19 pandemic, for economic recovery and for “building back better”. Technology and data will continue to have a critical role in all aspects of the global economy, and this will present opportunities and challenges for tech companies. Businesses will be the subject of increased scrutiny and will need to navigate a climate of heightening risk and increasing regulation of the digital economy.

- The shifting global dynamic
- Viewing the future through an ESG lens
- Regulation and redress in the digital economy
