Leading commercial law firms launch innovation network on digital value creation

LUTZ | ABEL RECHTSANWALTS PARTG MBB | View firm profile

The law firms Ebner Stolz, LUTZ | ABEL, Menold Bezler and Thümmel Schütze have joined forces as strategic partners in the Legal Automation & innovation (Legal Ai) Network as of January 1, 2023. The aim is to identify the future needs of clients against the backdrop of digitalization via a repetitive multi-stage innovation process and to develop market-oriented solution approaches (legal tech).

The network is coordinated by the Stuttgart-based innovation facilitator and
technology developer OMM Solutions GmbH. The innovation process starts with a “Legal Problem Camp” in which heads of legal departments work together to identify and classify their current problems in the context of digitalization.

Based on this, practical problems (“challenges”) are developed in the next step,
which serve as a working basis for the 5th “Legal Innovation Challenge”
(https://legal.inno-challenge.eu/). In this hackathon format, interdisciplinary teams of students and employees of legal departments develop digital legal products over two days and pitch them to a jury. Both the jury and the coaching team include heads of legal departments from established organizations.

In the final “Legal Solution Camp”, the results of the hackathon will be evaluated and integrated into the existing market landscape.

The targeted involvement of various players from law, business, technology and science as well as an open innovation process enable intensive collaboration and a better understanding of digital and client-centric solutions.

The Legal Ai Network is expressly open to the inclusion of further law firms. The central contact for any queries is Dr. Martin Allmendinger, Managing Partner of OMM Solutions GmbH (ma@omm-solutions.de). The law firms are also available for individual queries at any time.
