Episode 23: Doing Law in the 21st Century with Astrid Kohlmeier and Meera Klemola

It's no news that the world is changing rapidly. Lawyers are facing new challenges because of the increasing regulation, digitalization and the fact that consumers as end-users are demanding for more understandable and accessible legal services (and rightly so!). Doing law in the 21st Century with the 18th Century mindsets, traditions and tools isn't working any more. But how to change things? In this episode we are joined by Legal Design icons Astrid Kohlmeier and Meera Klemola. Astrid and Meera share their insights about the core elements of doing law in our time and the reasons why this era is all about transformation. As recently published authors, they also share the story of their book " The Legal Design Book - Doing Law in the 21st Century". In addition to discussing about making law better, we also talk about making legal publishing better.  Tune in to hear what would Astrid and Meera do!  Astrid Kohlmeier is a lawyer and internationally renowned legal design pioneer.
