It is common knowledge that new and emerging technologies have disrupted traditional industries and the way of doing things.
In 2018, lawyers were faced with the impending reality that technology could take over simple land transactions by the introduction of the Land Information Management Systems (LIMS). This came after registration of business entities was made simpler through the government portal, e-citizen. We have also seen the judiciary embrace technology by allowing court users file documents digitally (e – filing).
We have seen the enactment of a Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act in Kenya, discussions on the Huduma Bill, block chain and artificial intelligence and a host of changes in the telecommunications industry.
Viona Ochola & Associates Advocates acknowledges that its own business and that of its clientele is and will in the near future be affected by these emerging technologies. Our Firm has invested itself in growing the ICT department in preparation for these inevitable changes in the running of its business and that of its clientele.
