The relationship between law and technology is taking on surprising new dimensions in our fast-moving world.
While both are complex and always evolving, these two forces have sometimes seemed out of step with each other. No longer.
The widespread adoption of AI is driving legislative changes and impacting client expectations in multiple markets – we highlight Germany and the Gulf states in this issue.
It also works in reverse. Legal and regulatory changes can and do influence technology and industry. Argentina's new oil and gas boom is a direct result of a policy reversal. It's now making major new demands on legal professionals.
You'll find even more topics covered in the Global Guide Launch 2026, where we discuss the key factors shaping today's legal landscape. And as always, do connect with our teams at upcoming events.
