Legal Design Summit 2023: Building a Legal Design Movement

The Legal Design Summit is the largest Legal Design Event in the world – it’s back in 2023 and it’s free. It’s not just an event for Legal Design enthusiasts, it’s a movement that’s created a community of people committed to changing the mindset in law. It’s in Helsinki in September 2023, and tickets are limited. Because it is a not-for-profit event, we’re never sure if this year will be the last. 

This week we welcome Pilvi Alopaeus as our guest on Legal Design Thinking IRL. Pilvi is a Privacy Counsel at Schibsted, a Podcast Co-host at the PrivacyPod, an ex-Googler, and a Builder of the Legal Design Summit, the largest legal design event in the world. 

Pilvi was a crucial part of its birth in 2016 and led it to its success in 2017. And with a group of dedicated volunteers: Henna Tolvanen, Nina Toivonen, Jukka Linna, and Mika Viljanen. Legal Design Summit was re-founded in 2019 as a non-profit organisation with a more international flavour. Pilvi was the CEO of the Summit for six years and now serves as a Board member supporting and guiding the new operation lead of the Summit taking the Summit to new levels.

Legal design thinking: IRL. Episode 46

I’m Hannele Korhonen, founder of Lawyers Design School and host of Legal Design IRL. Each week I talk about Legal Design, design thinking, Contract Design, innovation and the future of law. Most importantly, we cover how exploring new possibilities can help you be a happier and more grounded lawyer who delivers legal services the way you want to deliver them.

If you enjoyed the talk, you can join me live every Wednesday at 8 am ET on LinkedIn. The chat is open and you can ask questions. 

Lawyers Design School is a learning centre for lawyers and practitioners who want to explore new possibilities in law, break down the barriers to justice and thrive in their careers. Through courses, workshops and the free weekly Legal Design IRL series, you’ll get practical, real-life examples of design in action. If you’re a change-maker lawyer or a lawyer who knows they want to change but doesn’t know where to start – stick around.
