Abstract
Lawyers have had to make many adaptations to their work practices as technology has advanced. Yet the rate of change continues at a frenetic pace. This chapter considers the impact of new technologies in legal practice on lawyers’ wellbeing. Labour-saving technology promises greater efficiencies, with the potential to free lawyers from routinised and dull tasks, and even the office environment itself. At the same time, in an atmosphere of competition in a diverse and changing legal services market, technology becomes yet another area with which lawyers must contend.
