Legal Design Introduction for in-house lawyers

This two-hour live online or onsite workshop is presented by Hannele Korhonen. It’s a clear and easy-to-understand exploration of legal design that will demystify the concepts and assumptions about legal design. You’ll have the opportunity to examine the benefits your team will enjoy by using legal design in their work. 

Traditional lawyers are solutions-oriented, fear failure and are highly competitive. It doesn’t have to be this way. Lawyers can be human-centric, curious, and open-minded and deliver levels of legal service your organization has never seen before.

And you don’t need to know how to draw, be a legal designer or get another degree. It’s a new way of thinking and doing.

Hannele Korhonen Lawyers Design School Legal design thinking

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 leading a team of lawyers, right? I’ve been there. You need to keep clients happy, keep your lawyers 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.
