UNSW Law and The Allens Hub for Technology, Law & Innovation are proud to host the Australian round of the Global Legaltech Venture Day – a worldwide competition to discover the startups disrupting the legal sector. 

Law is undergoing a true revolution due to globalization and technology. Legaltech is booming and new players and startups focused on legal technology are disrupting the industry in incredible ways, providing powerful opportunities for law firms, corporations, private and public institutions

About LegalTech Venture Day Sydney

This cutting-edge, highly competitive global competition is designed to identify and support those startups that have the ability to have a positive impact on major challenges faced by legal operators – whether private or public – as well as legal systems, so as to improve their operations thereby furthering the cause of justice.

At the event, hosted on campus at UNSW Sydney, five selected startups will pitch their projects to a jury who will then deliberate and name the winning startup for the region. Winners of the Sydney round will then go on to compete at the final deliberation with other candidates from across the globe in spring 2020 at IE Law School in Madrid. 

As well as hearing from selected startups the event will feature an exciting keynote presentation by Alex McCauley, CEO of StartupAUS. 

This event hosted by UNSW Sydney is part of the second edition of the Global Legaltech Venture Days competition that was launched in 2018 by IE Law School, Ontier and Law School's Global League (LGSL). 

This event is free to attend although places are limited, please register to secure your place.
Light refreshments will be served.
