Robotic Process Automation in Legal Service Market Report 2025

The robotic process automation in legal services market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.18 billion in 2024 to $2.63 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to the rising manual documentation workload, greater reliance on traditional contract review processes, increasing regulatory paperwork demands, a growing volume of litigation records, and heightened need for organized case management.

The robotic process automation in legal services market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period is driven by the expanding adoption of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered automation, the growing need for real-time compliance monitoring, increasing demand for cost-effective legal operations, the rising complexity of global legal regulations, and a surge in remote legal service requirements. Key trends during this time include advancements in technology-driven e-discovery automation, the development of intelligent case management systems, progress in automated compliance monitoring, the integration of chatbots for client interactions, and innovations in predictive analytics for litigation.

The growing adoption of cloud computing is anticipated to drive the expansion of robotic process automation within the legal services market in the coming years. Cloud adoption involves transferring IT resources, applications, and services from traditional on-premises systems to cloud-based platforms to boost scalability, flexibility, and efficiency. This trend is driven by the cloud’s capacity to offer scalable resources that can be adjusted as needed, along with flexible solutions that cater to various business requirements effectively. Robotic process automation enhances cloud computing by automating repetitive legal tasks, facilitating smooth data handling, and improving scalability and efficiency on cloud platforms. For example, Eurostat, a government agency in Luxembourg, reported in December 2023 that 45.2% of businesses in the European Union utilized cloud computing services such as internet-based software, computing power, and storage in 2023, representing a 4.2 percentage point increase since 2021. Consequently, the rise in cloud adoption is expected to fuel the growth of robotic process automation in legal services moving forward.

Leading companies in the robotic process automation market for legal services are concentrating on creating innovative no-code AI-powered platforms to simplify legal workflows and improve efficiency. These no-code AI platforms enable legal professionals to automate processes and deploy AI-driven solutions without needing programming skills. For instance, in November 2023, WorkFusion Inc., a US-based software firm, introduced Work.AI, a no-code platform integrating AI, machine learning, intelligent document processing (IDP), and RPA. This platform empowers organizations to build an extensive AI-driven digital workforce by leveraging the platform’s capabilities combined with domain expertise. It enables legal teams to automate complex workflows without coding knowledge by offering features such as no-code IDP, a connectors framework, and a rules engine. This innovation streamlines tasks such as document review, contract analysis, and compliance checks, reducing manual work while boosting accuracy.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.

Robotic process automation (RPA) in legal services involves using software robots to handle repetitive, rule-based tasks such as document review, data entry, contract management, and compliance verification. This technology helps law firms and corporate legal teams enhance efficiency, minimize errors, reduce costs, and allow legal professionals to concentrate on more complex legal analysis and strategic decisions.

The primary solutions for robotic process automation in legal services include software and related services. Software consists of a set of programs, data, and instructions that enable computers or devices to execute specific tasks. It can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud. These solutions are applied across various functions such as document management, contract management, compliance oversight, billing and invoicing, and litigation support, serving diverse users including law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies.
