Customer reviews
◆ “Hannele was a real catalyst to getting our legal design project off the ground and all the way to successful completion. She provided structure, inspiration and confidence to the team. By combining hands-on work with a more general introduction to legal design thinking and contract re-design, the team benefits long-term.”
Arno Glöckner, SPX Flow Assistant General Counsel
◆ “Not only did we gain great ideas from the training, which we implemented immediately, but we also gained a good foundation on which to build clearer and more approachable legal communication.”
Noora Kallio, Digital and Population Data Services Agency, General Counsel
◆ “Last week a number of colleagues from our three Nordic offices got together in Helsinki to put their designer hats on for the day. The topic was Legal Design and to guide us we invited Hannele Korhonen, Lawyers Design School, to run a workshop. Legal design challenges the common way of writing contracts for lawyers and judges and instead places the client in the center. By re-thinking the way you create your legal documents, you make them easier to understand and less likely to be misinterpreted. During the day, the participants used different design tools seasoned with creativity to revamp the structure, language, and visuals of various legal documents – resulting in some really innovative and cool prototypes.”

◆ “Extremely useful, fun and professionally delivered training”
◆ “Very happy that we got to work on our own documents and that it was so hands-on. Actually I already ended up using the training when marking up a contract for work the day after!”

Who is Hannele Korhonen
I’m a values-driven ex-corporate lawyer, law firm founder and contract geek.
I understand the frustration clients have with contracts and legal documents: Confusion, legalese and endless negotiation. I also know how it feels as an everyday lawyer who’s buried in paper and thinking
“There’s gotta be more to it than this.”
It’s hard work being a lawyer, right? I’ve been there. You need to keep clients happy, and keep the boss happy. Tough gig. As an in-house counsel, I wanted work products to make sense, be understandable and add value to the customers. And I knew legal design was the answer to keeping everyone happy. I fell in love with the concept of putting the user first, by making the law more human and accessible. I had a fire in my belly for delivering legal services people could understand and use.
Document simplification, innovation, and ending legalese are just one part of legal design – and I’ll give you everything you need to start using legal design in your work today.
