Legal Design Collab


Published on 01 December 2020

Welcome to the Centre for Legal Innovation's (CLI) FREE VIRTUAL Legal Design Collab (LDC) in collaboration with Melissa Lyon, Executive Director & Experience Designer at Hive Legal.

The LDC is a place where legal designers (and those who would like to be) chat about this stuff and…collaborate! We’re all about sharing experiences, asking questions, having fun, being creative, and inspiring each other.

Everyone is welcome and every question will be answered. These sessions are very informal - this is about creating and being part of a community and we can't wait for you to join us!

Dates for upcoming Legal Design Collab sessions in 2024 between 1pm – 2pm (Sydney/Melbourne time) are:

  • Thursday 8 February
  • Tuesday 16 April 
  • Tuesday 4 June
  • Tuesday 6 August
  • Tuesday 19 November

Recordings from the Legal Design Collab are only available to members of CLI’s Legalpreneurs Lab Legal Design Thinkers Special Interest Group (SIG). Membership of the SIG is FREE - please complete this Application Form if you would like to join.

If you would like more information about the application of design thinking in legal, check out for FREE CLI's Legal Design Thinking and Doing Series (by Melissa Lyon) and our FREE Client Experience Series too (multiple presenters).

If you are wondering what a career in client experience design looks like, then visit our FREE NewLaw Careers Series here. Most of these sessions are available in video and podcast. If you have NewLaw careers questions, please contact us: NewLawCareers@collaw.edu.au.
