New Nordic Legal Tech Hub

We’re happy to be featured in LegalTechWeekly, who give an introduction to Nordic Legal Tech and key founding partners.

This initiative has been well received in the legal industry and the hub has already formed an important partnership with the Danish law firm Bech-Bruun. “It is a great addon in our approach to get more structure on our work with legal tech. The hub can map out and engage with the market in an unbiased way and thereby have the ability to create a bigger platform for the market in general. We would like to collaborate more closely with the legal tech startups, and we believe that our collaboration with Nordic Legal Tech Hub can help us getting closer to the market and introduce us to startups and peers when we need sparring and to discuss new ideas,” explains Head of Legal Tech Innovation in Bech-Bruun, Torsten Torpe.

Bech-Bruun signs as Nordic Legal Tech’s first corporate member

We are very pleased to announce our first corporate member, the Danish law firm Bech-Bruun. A new initiative like this needs strong partners and support early on if it is to succeed. The first movers are critical to helping us get off the ground.

Bech-Bruun has an innovative partnership model and are actively engaging with the legal tech ecosystem, so we are very happy that they want to collaborate. Active members play a key role in creating the value of an organization like the Nordic Legal Tech Hub and give us insights into the needs of the industry.

We look forward to working together with Bech-Bruun, as we support the development and implementation of legal and governance, risk management, and compliance tech across the Nordics. This is going to be a lot of fun.

Tech & Law Breakfast @ Copenhagen University

The first Tech & Law Breakfast this year focused on “Legal implications of Big Data in Danish Healthcare”.

Mette Hartlev and Katharina Eva Ó Cathaoir presented their research on personalized medicine in the welfare state.

  • How is “the personal” understood and established when genomic data are applied and exchanged in Danish health care? 
  • Which collectivities—e.g. species, ethnicity, nation, health care services, and ultimately the welfare state— are implied in constituting “the personal”?
