Next, we look at the legalTech sector, where a number of financing rounds have taken place in companies such as SimpleLegal, Leverton or Avvo.

The legal sector is full of cumbersome, simple and mechanistic processes that do not add value. Although it is true that the experience and argumentation skills of lawyers are a differential factor in trials, the number of applications that try to facilitate judicial processes, taking on laborious tasks with little added value or providing legal knowledge to people with a lack of legal knowledge, is growing all the time.

Estadísticas LegalTech

According to the latest study carried out by Expansión, in Spain, "The 80% of lawyers suffer from stress and don't even get six hours of sleep".. But this is a situation that seems to be recurrent in almost all European countries, according to the latest statistics presented.

This is a reality that the LegalTech sector is taking advantage of to facilitate processes, reduce costs and streamline procedures by including technology in a sector as traditional as the legal sector.

Within this sector, we have picked up several relevant operations:
