ABSTRACT
At its core, good Legal Design enables better understanding, clarity and choice. Our world is changing quickly: developments in globalisation, technology, regulatory complexity and competition are just a few of the forces shifting the way that lawyers, clients, consumers and everyday people make decisions with legal implications. From truly understanding an app’s terms and conditions before habitually (and hastily) clicking ‘I accept’, to communicating what an employee’s parental leave rights might be, and to enabling the C-suite to prioritise and action the risks associated with a bet-the-business transaction, Legal Design presents an opportunity not only to meet the needs of tomorrow but to proactively change the future of law, in particular by making it more accessible.
