OneAdvanced’s tenth annual Legal Trends Report at the start of 2026 raised five key challenges for the legal sector. Now we’re halfway through the year, has there been any progress in addressing them?
The challenges included automating and integrating processes; managing customer expectations in a digital marketplace; keeping secure in a dangerous cyber environment; recruiting, retaining and developing top talent; and ensuring teams have access to the right technology (with lack of automation among the threats to realising value).
We will speak with OneAdvanced’s SVP for legal and professional services, Doug Hargrove, and a guest about the extent to which firms have moved and are moving to solve these challenges. And as we enter the second half of the year we’ll be asking, ‘what new challenges are on the horizon?’
