If you are interested in “hacking” the legal industry, I would like to highly recommend the meetup “Legal Hacking for Beginners: How to become a Legal Hacker” in Berlin on October 10 2016. The event will start at 19:00 PM. Talks will start around 19:30.
The meetup includes 4 speakers which are a mixture of veterans and new comers in the legal tech scene. All of them have at least one current legal tech project they are actively working on.
The agenda looks promising:
