It will also ramp up its investment in product, design, engineering and professional services, and invest further in developing artificial intelligence technology.

“Legaltech is booming now, and the industry’s real growth has only just begun,” Camara said in a statement. “Over the next five to 10 years, legaltech will emerge as the next high-growth category of enterprise software.”
