The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Law
Publication date: Aug 2026
AI is reshaping the legal industry, transforming practices, and influencing behaviors of legal tech buyers and vendors alike. AI adoption also introduces complex risks that require careful consideration. The Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Law is devoted exclusively to the risks and challenges that AI presents to the legal profession.
Drawing upon the candid insights of legal professionals and technologists across 17 jurisdictions and six continents – including users and solutions providers throughout the legal ecosystem – the authors provide balanced, practitioner-grounded perspectives across the spectrum of risk. Bearing in mind the rapid pace of AI development, this book goes beyond the technological risks often discussed in general responsible AI debates (such as privacy, intellectual property, and reliability risks), to also analyze the operational and cultural risks faced by legal professionals.
For readers grappling with stalled pilots, disillusionment, or uncertainty, this book offers practical guidance to build literacy, manage risk, and make informed decisions in an evolving landscape.

How to Buy Legal Tech That Works
Publication date: Aug 2024
Legal technology, a once-obscure niche that few knew about and even fewer invested in, has come into its own. With the advent of generative AI, funding is about to flow into the space and birth a raft of new legal tech products, as well as improved versions of old ones.
Industry veterans know full well that the legal tech market is already flooded with bad tech, particularly considering all the hype around contract lifecycle management, which has proven to be a much tougher nut to crack than anyone imagined. Over the next few years we will see the most thoughtful, innovative legal tech solutions the world has ever seen. We will also see a ton of rubbish.
How to Buy Legal Tech That Works is about how to cut through the grist and find practical solutions that work for you, regardless of marketing and sales hype. Written by Nathan Cemenska, an industry veteran who has represented both buyers of legal tech and a very prominent seller, it lays out a soup-to-nuts legal tech procurement approach that takes you through the entire process, from defining your needs, identifying relevant solutions, decoding marketing and sales narratives, performing full due diligence on vendors to figure out what they are really selling, all the way down to negotiating the final contract to obtain favorable pricing and assurances in case implementation goes less well than envisioned. While nothing is guaranteed, this book will lay out the building blocks to arm you with all the information you need to protect yourself from legal tech companies that, in their desperation to make a sale, have lost sight of what should be their goal – to provide practical, common-sense products that help move the legal industry forward.

Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation
The Exponential Age Mindset
Publication date: Mar 2026
The growth in technology is forecast to increase exponentially going forward. What this means for business is that technology will radically change the way we work, and that constant change will become the norm.
In law, this change has not taken effect as radically as in other areas of business, but it is a matter of when, not if. This book identifies nine mindset attributes that are fundamental to success – to individuals, their teams, and their organizations.
As AI adoption increases, there has been less focus on the human-centred skills that are needed to thrive. Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation: The Exponential Age Mindset focuses on how legal departments and law firms can ensure their employees have the mindset and the skill set to optimize this transformation. Increasingly, GCs are seeing that engaging the entire legal department is key to success, and that many non-lawyer roles are going to be even more central as tech and GenAI becomes more prevalent.
