Contract Design Workshop: Let’s Create a World Where the Law Makes Sense Past Event
The law is confusing.
Lawyers write contracts and legal advice in dense legalese.
Clients who can afford legal advice, often end up paying for something they don’t completely understand.
Lawyers are stressed and unfulfilled.
It’s time the legal industry collaborated and learned from the world of design to create legal advice and contractual documents that help clients instead of bamboozling them!
Be inspired as you explore examples of innovative visual design that is exploding within the legal industry around the world.
