Digitalization represents industrial changes that are comparable to the introduction of the steam engine, electricity, and the computer. It has entailed substantial changes in most settings but carries a particular potential to settings that have been shielded from major changes in the past. Such potential is evident in the legal field. Here digitalization drives radical changes to where, how, and when legal work is done, challenges previous assumptions about professional practice, and disrupts business models and legal institutions. This thesis aims to shed light on all these changes by exploring what digital technologies have entailed for law firms, courts, and the professionals that work in these organizations, and how and why the different actors of the field have responded to digitalization in the way they have. By analyzing the digital transformation, this thesis shows fundamental implications for professional practices and organizations and provides an understanding of field-specific institutional logics and barriers that have been encountered in the transformation process. The thesis builds on four appended papers. The first paper explains how distinctive industry characteristics have been affected by digitalization. The second paper illustrates the resulting institutional complexity and shows how a dominant law firm logic has effectively prevented change among incumbents while innovation has taken place in the emergent sub-field of legal tech. The third paper explores digitalization efforts in a court setting and shows how institutional and professional barriers for change were overcome when digitalization was re-assessed with regard to fighting the spread of Covid-19, and the fourth paper discusses the effects of Covid-19 on the speed of digital transformation in the field. Together, these papers show an accelerating digital transformation of a previously protected and highly institutionalized field. By analyzing the impact and implications of digitalization in the legal field, this thesis adds to our knowledge on digital transformation, institutional complexity, and the future of professional work.
