Abstract

The success of the “Startup as a WRC” program is largely due to the effectiveness of combining the efforts of students and business representatives in the development and implementation of innovative technological projects. The prerequisite for such interaction in the field of LegalTech is the close study by law students of promising areas of digitalization of legal business. An overview of digital technologies that allow law firms to more effectively organize interaction with the client and improve the quality of services provided is presented. The conditions necessary for the functioning of a virtual law firm are listed, the main directions of automation of business processes of law firms are outlined, and the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in legal practice are shown. The results of the study can be used by students when choosing business ideas for the implementation of startups in the field of LegalTech.
