Teaching in the Legal Tech Masters Program at IE Law School

This week I am teaching at IE Law School here in Madrid -The Masters in LegalTech program features students from across the globe interested in how to use tech to #MakeLawBetter…. 

It is worth noting that the The Spanish Market has grown significantly since I was here first in 2015 (when there were barely 10-20 LegalTech companies to be found — now there are 122 Legal Tech startups in Spain alone as of Feb 2019) … see this company map !

Legal Innovation and Technology Event in Budapest

 

#LegalTech and #LegalInnovation is Global – It was my great pleasure to speak last night at a Legal Innovation and Technology event in Budapest. It was a full venue with ~150 people in attendance. The Legal Tech and Innovation community in Hungary is small but gaining strength!  Given its historic strengths in STEM – I expect efforts in this region to grow over the coming years.
