Inspire.Legal 2.0

by Inspire.Legal

Inspire.Legal 2.0 is an innovative un-conference dedicated to addressing the most pressing challenges in the legal industry. Organized by Christian Lang and Joe Borstein, with Matt Homann serving as the master of ceremonies, this event aims to foster open and honest discussions among a diverse group of legal professionals, technologists, and innovators. The primary focus is on collaboratively identifying and solving key problems within the legal sector, moving beyond the typical emphasis on new technologies and solutions.

The conference centers around five main themes: Technology Procurement & Adoption, Platforms & Interoperability, New Offerings & Client/Lawyer/Law Company Collaboration, Experiential Learning & Training, and Collaborative Funding Models. Attendees engage in interactive "un-panels," where subject matter experts lead conversations on these topics, and participate in a Legal Problems Forum, discussing 20 specific challenges facing the legal profession. This format encourages active participation and the generation of actionable insights.

In addition to the structured discussions, Inspire.Legal 2.0 offers networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with peers and leaders across various sectors of the legal industry. The event is sponsored by organizations such as Ernst & Young and Clifford Chance, ensuring a high level of engagement and support. Notable speakers include Ralph Baxter, former Chairman & CEO of Orrick, and Augie Rakow, CEO of Atrium, who contribute their expertise to the conversations.

This event is ideal for legal professionals, technologists, educators, and students who are eager to collaborate on solving real-world problems in the legal field. By focusing on the challenges rather than the solutions, Inspire.Legal 2.0 provides a platform for meaningful dialogue and the development of strategies to drive positive change within the industry.
