According to professor Pierre Trudel, "Technology law is a promising field. Mainly innovative companies are recruiting to produce conflict resolution tools, know their rights, and familiarize themselves with patents, privacy laws, licence contracts and libel problems." Conversely, law firms are hiring fewer technology law experts right now.

Many start-ups would greatly need the services of a lawyer, but they are still too young and small to be able to afford it. After their first round of financing, they can hire a corporate lawyer.

Start-ups often use the services of firms—called "boutique law firms"—that advise emerging businesses. These businesses hire lawyers to work on project management teams. Legal skills, including new technology law, are required, along with other more general business capabilities.

The field of new technology law even risks running short of people. . . Many legal questions are examined by lawyers lacking specific expertise in technology law. Moreover, there are not yet enough graduates to fill the need, because they tend to go into more traditional sectors. The reason is that when they imagine themselves lawyers, the words "contract," "protection," and "tribunal" come up, but not yet enough "innovation."

If you want to work in a stimulating environment, have a curious nature and are keen on technical matters, then technology law is for you!
