Exchange leadership and faculty will participate in the five-day virtual event which convenes more than 5,000 legal industry professionals, across 80 countries, to discuss disruption and innovation in legal operations, technology law, and access to justice. TechLaw.Fest 2020 is jointly organized by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), MP International, and the Ministry of Law, Singapore.
Digital Legal Exchange Executive Chairman Mark A. Cohen will engage in a fireside chat with Professor Richard Susskind, Chair of the Advisory Board of the Oxford Internet Institute and Technology Adviser to the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales. The two highly respected legal industry leaders will discuss how COVID-19 has accelerated the reshaping of legal. The discussion,
The Future of the Legal World, will be moderated by Tan Ken Hwee, Chief Transformation and Innovation Officer for the Supreme Court of Singapore.
“The Digital Legal Exchange is delighted to collaborate with the Singapore Academy of Law, engaging in joint workshops, educational programs, and other activities that upskill lawyers and legal professionals to equip them to meet the needs of clients, customers, and society. As the inaugural Catalyst-in-Residence of the Singapore Academy of Law's LIFTED initiative, one of my remits is to promote multidisciplinary, multicultural dialogues and initiatives that make legal services more accessible, efficient, affordable, and empathetic,” said Exchange Executive Chairman Mark A. Cohen. “Digital transformation is reimagining the customer experience across industries, but legal has lagged to the detriment of its clients, customers, and society. DLEX and SAL are committed to taking the lead in the legal industry’s much-needed digital transformation.”
