INTEGRATION OF LEGALTECH AND AI IN THE UKRAINIAN NOTARIAT: ENSURING SUSTAINABLE TURNOVER
Synopsis
The article examines the process of integrating LegalTech and AI into the activities of the Ukrainian notariat in the context of digital transformation, war and post-war reconstruction. The author proves that the integration of LegalTech and AI into the activities of the Ukrainian notariat does not pose a threat to the traditional role of the notary, but, on the contrary, strengthens its function as a guarantor of legal certainty, authenticity and non-contentious justice. Based on a comparative analysis of the experience of Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Estonia, the author identifies models of electronic notaries that may be relevant to Ukrainian realities. The author also examines legislative initiatives in Ukraine, in particular the draft Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving the Regulation of Notarial Activities". The author emphasises the importance of ensuring cybersecurity, preserving notarial secrecy, regulatory definition of the boundaries of responsibility of notaries and technology providers, and the need to improve the digital literacy of notaries. The article emphasises that the Ukrainian experience is unique, since the digitalisation of the notariat sphere is taking place in the context of war, which requires a cautious and adaptive approach to the introduction of innovations to ensure sustainable economic circulation.
