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.
