Technology Law ≠ Legal-Tech

From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson

Technology Law ≠ Legal-Tech.

I think I have already said enough multiple times. But then of course, many people still don't know the difference between legal technology and technology law. Many thing they are interchangeable terms - like the palindrome number.

Well in that case, you would enjoy reading this simple explainer, highlighting why technology law and legal tech are entirely different: https://www.indicpacific.com/post/technology-law-is-not-legal-tech-why-they-re-not-the-same-and-why-it-matters

Let's clear up a common misconception that's costing organizations time, money, and compliance headaches.

Technology Law:

• Shapes the legal frameworks for emerging tech

• Governs AI, data protection, and digital sovereignty

• Creates rules for how technology should behave in society

Legal-Tech:

• Automates legal processes

• Enhances law firm efficiency

• Uses AI to streamline legal work

❌ Mixing these up?

You might be:

• Hiring wrong expertise

• Investing in wrong solutions

• Missing critical regulatory requirements

💡 Remember: Technology Law creates the rules of the game, while Legal-Tech helps play it better.

In fact, the way the legal tech market reality is saturating by looking at their marketing, and business model issues, I think the word "legal tech" can saturate quite easily. Regtech is going to stay.

That's my view - and you can disagree with me.

Have a solid happy week!
