Can technology replace the work of lawyers?

This is why it is important to take this cultural change very seriously and prevent sanctions as far as possible rather than planning to assume their cost, making provisions and waiting. This was a very common practice in the past that no longer makes any sense today.
As we have seen, the new regulations require a lot of effort, which involves first preparing extensive legal studies and then an action plan that specifies each of the measures that must be carried out to demonstrate, in the event of a possible inspection, that the regulations are being complied with and/or that all the actions considered necessary to comply with said regulations are being proactively carried out .
As consultants in the field, we cannot ignore the existence of such software or its more than accurate advice regarding the appropriate action plan. Nor can we continue to propose the use of Excel sheets to carry out the aforementioned records. Software has arrived in our profession and not only do we not have to be afraid of it, but we must adopt it as another tool for perfecting and improving the quality of our work.
Some companies may be able to operate almost alone but are very careful to correctly follow the “instructions” to avoid liability, however the future says that they will continue to need us.
Proof of this is that some GDPR software already offers a parallel platform for the advisor, whether or not acting as internal or external DPO , to review and approve both the preparation of the action plan and its execution. Perhaps the best criterion for assessing the quality and usefulness of such software.
Regarding my personal experience in this regard, an issue that arises in any subject or area of Law, it is essential that the lawyer-client communication is perfectly recorded, organized and that it is possible to generate documents that transcribe said conversations (e.g. PDF ) in case some type of conflict arises. Email is therefore close to becoming a thing of the past.
Jurists + technology = safe treatment
This combination seems to be the perfect one , since, although the hours of advice india whatsapp shopping data and therefore the costs are greatly reduced, it would be wise for companies to continue transferring the risk of final advice on the matter to lawyers and therefore to their insurance companies.
As to whether it will spread to other areas of law, the future is unpredictable, but everything points to the fact that this will undoubtedly be the case.
