With the rise of these startups, the new meetup group plans to bring together the right type of people for workshops, hackathons, and general meetups to help develop products and build up the legal tech sector in Stockholm.
“There has been a huge gap between law and technology for too long. There are endless possibilities to make the practice of law more efficient and accessible with technology. Also, there are pressing issues with how law and policy can adapt to rapidly changing technology. We have created this group to develop solutions to these issues,” says Robert Gullander, founder of Stockholm Legal Hackers
The group is a chapter from Legal Hackers, a New York based group with four chapters in the U.S., making this group the first chapter outside the U.S..
If anything, this meetup signifies that a new industry is popping up in Sweden, and could be a good resource for the region’s startups and investors interested in the sector.
