design.legal 2018
Europe’s cosiest conference on legal design, tech and innovation
21-22 June 2018
allynet Work Loft, Munich, Germany
The Legal Design Event of 2018
Do you have enough of conferences where speakers predict impending doom for the legal profession or its salvation through legal tech, yet none of them uses tech productively on a day to day basis?
Do you have enough of conferenes where you are told lawyers need to innovate, but you’re not shown how to do that?
Are you a designer, programmer or student with design or coding skills? Have you heard that the world of legal services is changing, ripe for disruption? Are you looking for the most important challenge you want to tackle, or verify that your envisioned solution actually matches the needs of leading legal professions?
Time to join forces in a new approach.
Two highly interactive, hands-on days to work on real-life challanges: that’s design.legal, Europe’s cosiest conference on legal design, tech and innovation.
Europe’s leading legal innovators, legal designers, coders and lawyers will meet in Munich under one theme: Together we create.
In a facilitated design-sprint-hackathon-like workshop, the participants will learn how to apply design thinking, rapid prototyping and tech solutions in an innovative hands-on process. We will move from real-life challenges to solutions in the afternoon of day two.
