Why legal technology products fail

A legal tech implementation may fail due to poor user adoption, inadequate training, and lack of proper integration. Generally, if a legal technology product isn't user-friendly or well-integrated with other tools, or if its benefits aren't clear, users may resist adopting it and continue using familiar, less efficient methods. In this situation it becomes challenging to achieve ROI, or the implementation can fail altogether.
