In what might be an intriguing coincidence, recent TR data saw that a rise in 2024 law firm spend took part alongside a perceived rise in innovation by clients. A similar finding noted that on average clients will spend about 35% on innovative firms given that efficiency is a top priority. As the combined benefits of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, blockchain, and other new technologies emerge, law and tax firms have an incredible opportunity to outpace competitors by transforming their service delivery and client interactions through value creation activities driven by technology.
