Visualization of Legal Information for Lawyers with Sarah OUIS

This Legal Design Thinking IRL episode explores how lawyers can visualize legal information and legal data to help clients understand and use the information lawyers give to them. Visualization removes redundant processes, energizes creativity, and boosts brand reputation. Imagine you’re a slick business with modern offices, a fancy website, and savvy social media sending all the right signals. What happens to the brand perception when you sign a new client and onboarding starts with a 200-page contract for your new client to read? Visualization is not pretty pictures. It’s communicating efficiently and effectively.

Sarah OUIS is our guest this week. Sarah is an experienced legal design consultant and visual legal design coach. Driven by a strong desire to solve problems creatively in the legal industry, she takes pride in assisting legal teams and providers to transform their delivery of legal services with legal design. As a legal design consultant, her goals include improving the usability and accessibility of legal information through different mediums, from contracts to policies to social media content. Sarah is also a successful legal content creator, reaching millions of social media views, followed by some of the most highly regarded legal industry leaders. In addition to her primary job functions, Sarah has been featured on the LinkedIn 2022 directory of women who inspire through their work and is listed as a top voice for social media and personal branding.
