As reported yesterday in an exclusive at LawSites blog, two leading international legal transformation organizations, the Digital Legal Exchange (DLEx) and the Liquid Legal Institute (LLI), have joined forces in a strategic union that brings together more than 1,500 members representing more than 140 multinational corporations, organizations, institutions and agencies across more than 20 countries.
On today’s LawNext, two of the principles of that union — Mark Cohen, chairman emeritus of DLEx, and Dr. Dierk Schindler, cofounder of LLI — join host Bob Ambrogi to discuss their vision of creating the world’s leading think tank for legal transformation. Among the topics they discuss:
-
The origins and evolution of both organizations.
-
How their complementary approaches — LLI's grassroots community spanning all levels of organizations and DLEx's executive-level focus — will create greater impact together.
-
What "legal transformation" means in today's rapidly evolving environment.
-
How businesses are driving change in the legal function.
-
The importance of mindset in transformation.
-
Plans for future collaboration, including joint projects and events.
Listen to gain unique insights into how these organizations aim to shape the future of legal through collective effort and a truly global perspective.
