In their latest article titled “Automation in India’s Legal Field: Catalyst for Change or Cause for Concern”, our Partners Yashojit Mitra & Devyani Singh and Associate Aayushi Shah examine the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Indian legal ecosystem.

Published in 8th edition N°1 of The Legal Industry Reviews India, the article delves into how AI is being deployed by courts and law firms from transcription and translation to contract automation and intelligent legal research while also highlighting the inherent risks, such as hallucinations, bias, and legal accountability.

As India’s judiciary adopts more tech-driven reforms under the e-Courts project, and legal tech startups attract significant investor interest, the article reflects on whether AI will remain a tool for efficiency or if unchecked use may undermine the rigor of legal practice.
