The investments in technology (machine learning) are creating competitive advantages for legal institutions in mass litigation

There is a potential growth in access to justice and an opportunity to improve legal services to those who cannot afford it

The introduction of machine learning in mass litigation does not mean a reduction of the number of lawsuits

Final Remarks
