Legal technology is booming, with companies attempting to disrupt the legal space at every level and from every angle. And with good reason.

But change is nigh: consumers are demanding more efficient, transparent and affordable legal services, and lawyers are looking for cutting-edge ways to compete in an oversaturated market. There are three areas in the legal space on the precipice of major disruption in 2015. Here are the trends to watch.
