AI is central to Epiq Advisory, with nearly forty percent of engagements involving consulting around the use or implementation of AI within corporate legal departments and law firms.

The legal industry is experiencing strong momentum around Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions, with seventy-eight percent of organizations investing in CLM over the past five years (source).
