Pilot of the Legal Innovation and Future-Readiness Transformation (LIFT) Initiative
Change management remains a key barrier for many law firms looking to digitalise. Some common challenges include firms’ lack of bandwidth to systematically identify pain points and tech gaps, lack of proper metrics to evaluate and compare the myriad technology solutions available, and lack of proper onboarding and training to ensure effective implementation and utilisation. Without setting aside time for proper onboarding and training, law firms may find themselves saddled with expensive technology solutions that they do not have the know-how to utilise, and lose their trust in technology. The risk: a widening divide between firms that adopt meaningfully and those that adopt reactively.
For many smaller law firms, the barriers are no longer just financial, but about confidence, capability, and clarity on what legaltech solutions to adopt, how to implement them, and how to build trust in tools like generative AI.
Legaltech adoption, accelerated and de-risked
The Ministry of Law (MinLaw) is piloting LIFT to support small and medium Singapore law practices to adopt and integrate legaltech solutions. PwC NewLaw is the legaltech consultant appointed for LIFT, bringing deep experience in helping firms align operations with outcomes, from evaluating needs and selecting the right tools, to training staff and optimising workflows.
