An Introduction to Design for Law

Overview

  • Like in every industry, the legal industry continues to search for new ways to innovate and drive change within the sector. We can improve the legal sector for both lawyers and the users of law by taking a design approach to solve legal challenges and to drive legal innovation.

  • Thinking like a designer and adopting a design approach can transform the way an organisation develops products, services, processes and strategy (design thinking).

  • Over time, several industries, such as healthcare, government, management and even financial services have adopted a design approach to achieve better outcomes, better understand their core users, improve services and product offerings and of course promote innovation. In fact, studies conducted by both the Design Management Institute and Mckinsey find that design-led firms outperform their competitors by up to as much as 211%.
