Legal design workshop | Redesign your legal future with legal design | Johannesburg | In-person

If you’re a lawyer or work in compliance, you know that being valuable to your organisation means continuously learning and improving your skills. But you don’t have to limit yourself to just understanding and interpreting the law…

There’s a whole world of skills beyond that which can make you an invaluable asset to your team.

One such skill is legal design. It’s not just about practising the law but also about:

1. delivering it in a way that puts users at the centre,
2. using plain language and engaging visuals to make documents easier to understand, and
3. making the law more accessible.

We’ve been doing legal design for years, supporting people like you to grow in their careers. Our legal designers have also spent time abroad learning about cutting-edge advances in legal design while tailoring it to Africa’s unique context.

Outcomes

• Enhance your legal skills with a focus on design. The workshop will provide you with the knowledge and skills to approach legal documents and processes from a design-focused perspective, allowing you to create better user experiences and more accessible legal information.
• Develop new career-enhancing skills. By learning about legal design, you’ll add a valuable new skill set to your arsenal and become an even more valuable asset to your organisation. Plus, the knowledge and insights you gain during the workshop will help you stand out and grow professionally.
• Create measurable value for your organisation. Legal design is not just a theoretical concept; it’s a practical tool that can help you create real value for your organisation. By understanding how to approach legal work with a design focus, you can implement changes that improve processes, create more accessible legal information, and enhance the overall user experience. As a result, your team will be able to see the impact of your newfound skills, and you’ll feel more professionally fulfilled.
