FBT Gibbons Partner Christine A. Amalfe is quoted by NJBIZ in its 2026 Economic Outlook issue, where she discusses the pivotal role technology continues to play in the legal industry.
“Technology is the driving force behind almost every day-to-day decision in today’s law firm,” she says. “AI shapes how lawyers conduct research, draft filings, negotiate settlements, analyze contracts, and even plan trial strategy or jury selection.”
Amalfe adds that today, law firm managers rely on a variety of tools beyond AI.
“The modern law office is buoyed by technology. Having a robust technological infrastructure is essential for delivering high-quality legal services and remaining competitive. The issue law firms face is how much can they invest in technology and how can they stay ahead of the curve.”
