WHY LWOW? 5 REASONS.
1.LWOW IS Innovation + Collaboration + Transformation.
“It’s NO secret that as you study in law or business school, the legal AND business marketplace is changing with disruptions blasting in an unrelenting pace of AI, new tech, innovations and ideas. This is rewriting the script of what they expect from legal professionals. Clients are calling on lawyers to innovate, cross-collaborate, and partner together to solve unprecedented problems. In today’s competitive and chaotic market, legal expertise and lawyering skills along are not enough.”
2.LWOW IS an experience. There’s nothing like it.
Enter LawWithoutWalls. LWOW is the only learning and development initiative that engages across generations, across diverse cultures, across disciplines to bring the best out of all this diversity to change mindsets, skillsets, and behaviors of legal and business professionals and law and business school students from around the world. And the best of this happens at the in-person LWOW Sprint, an experiential hands-on EXPERIENCE where teams race to develop viable solutions to real challenges, honing their ability to find and refine problems and collaborate along the way.
LWOW Sprints are 3-day, in-person events held in spring each year at a different location around the world.
3.LWOW connects you to an affirming community of 3000+ change makers from all over the world—professionals, academics, students—all passionate about solving problems at the intersection of law, business and technology.
“LWOW has the potential to make your career. If you engage with the process and enjoy the community you will benefit personally and professionally for years to come. Having been involved in LWOW for approximately 7 years as a partner from a $1bn turnover law firm, we’ve hired LWOW alums (although not enough!) and I’ve seen opportunities aplenty within the community year in, year out. LWOW—the LWOW process and the LWOW community—is a unique and valuable opportunity for any highly-motivated student.

5.LWOW Sprint—perspective + life-changing—on oh, so many levels.
“Thank you for making LWOW Sprint 2022 happen. It was a life changing experience. Being able to collaborate with colleagues sharing my same fascination in legaltech from all over the world, and compete in a healthy and enriching way, opened borders for me not only geographically but also mentally; I acquired knowledge that I now have the inclination to spread in the culture of law in my country, Mexico.
I would like to share to all those dedicated to the legal world that it is possible to break the traditional framework of law from a labor perspective as well as in innovation. Involving creativity in the creation and implementation of new ideas in our field can improve the practice and access to law in our country.”
