Digital Transformation

Your opportunity in the digital decade

25 topics in Digital Transformation

Artificial Intelligence, Smart Data, quantum computers, NewSpace, virtual reality such as the metaverse in Web3, digital twins and the Internet of Things – digital transformation has brought about a profound and constant change in the global economy and society that has now become part of everyday life in many industries. Companies and state institutions are rebuilding their processes on a digital foundation and see digital transformation as an opportunity – not only for themselves, but also for society as a whole and the environment.

The digital decade has already begun

Innovative business models, digitalisation strategies and the use of future technologies present companies with unprecedented legal challenges and the law with unexpected legal scenarios. Digital transformation brings together issues such as trade secret protection, copyright, patent and media law, data utilisation and data protection, contract drafting and product design as well as liability, IT security and regulation. Our interdisciplinary and international teams will accompany you on this journey.

Rethinking legal advice – CMS, AI and legal tech

Digital transformation is also changing how legal advice is given. Legal tech and Artificial Intelligence open up new possibilities, from project management to the use of (partially) automated legal services. CMS is a pioneer in the field of cost-efficient and automated product and process solutions with versatile legal tech products and innovations: "CMS [shows] that the firm is committed to achieving this goal in the long term.
