Jon: Thanks for your input. I think that the legal field will be transformed by the usage of new technology in the future, e.g., with the help of A.I.

Wow, that is a pretty big number. Do every small business organization have a legal department?

I would think that most small businesses don't have a legal department and that it's probably not realistic that they could. However having a legal advisor help you create or at least look over your policies and having a lawyer you can contact with issues is a very wise idea.

I'm not sure what the annual average is in terms of how many but I've seen that as many as 40% of employee lawsuits filed are against companies with less than 100 employees.
