The legal industry has long been considered resistant to change, with traditional methods dominating how legal documentation is created, managed, and executed.

Many law firms and in-house legal teams still use email and Word attachments, which evolved from a world pre-Cloud technology when we could not view documents in real-time. Lawyers had to rely on checking each physical version of a document, often with lawyers marking contracts up by hand and scanning them. 

However, rapid technological advancements have paved the way for a new era of legal operations. Zegal is at the forefront of this transformation, developing technologies that allow for live collaboration of legal contracts that get it all done far more quickly and far less painfully.
