Thank you for having us, and arranging everything, incl. the phenomenal location Oosten and the wonderful weather, Claudia Schieblon.
Changing markets and increased complexity in legal operations make it even more critical that efficiency is combined with commercial understanding, creativity, and risk management in the delivery of legal services.
Read how we work with our lawyers and our end clients to understand their legal operations challenges and design the right technology solutions.
Digitalisierung und Innovation in Kanzleien – Sandra Thiel and I wrote about our notorious Innovation & Best Delivery Hub and our fantastic multidisciplinary teams working in interdisciplinary ways.
After the Bucerius Innovation Days on Monday and Tuesday, I met my CIO Paul Greenwood for real in Frankfurt on Wednesday, then on Thursday at the Hub/IT event with Worldcafés (mine was on the topic of cloud computing and platform economy), we have just sent my 20+ years colleague and former team member Bärbel off into her well-deserved retirement (the social part is about to begin).
We – my Innovation Partner Sandra Thiel, my Regional Technology Director Christiane Müller-Haye and Daniel Wilkus from the ITSC – have been at the Bucerius Innovation Day in Hamburg.
All around Platform Economics – is it more of a chance or risk for the legal industry?
Sandra and I introduced the legal industry part with the general thought process of law firms around platform economics, our expectations and experiences.

Andrew Klein from Reynen Court touched on all the beauty of the platform, how it can drive business value and embrace technology within the legal community. Dierk Schindler from Bosch took us through the ride of DIKE, part of the Common Legal Plattform which will hopefully materialise with funding from the GAIA/X budgets.
Marcus Trapp and Claudia Nass from Fraunhofer IESE entertained us with their amazing presentation about chances and challenges of digital ecosystems and platform economy.
We are good in aiming for more efficiency and cost savings but what about creating new values in a changing environment?!
To create new values you will need new superheroes in the organisation who are free from „we have always done it like this“ to think and innovate.
Innovation needs the acceptance that you might fail.
If you looking to have a guaranteed ROI after 18 months consider not doing it
GDPR does not prevent products. If GDPR is hindering the operation of your product, then it is not a viable idea anyway. From my point of view, GDPR is a competitive advantage.
Do you want to follow Christiane Müller-Haye and me on The Road Ahead? We have written an article for GoingDigital of DeutscherAnwaltSpiegel about the contemporary challenges of electronic data analysis – and, folks, it remains challenging. Times have changed since the Enron case…we are no longer just dealing with ludicrous 500,000 American English emails and their attachments.
Did you know that a zetabyte has 21 zeros? Have you ever suffered from the atomization of information? Do you already know what RegEx, ML, NLP, or OCR stands for? And what they are really good for?
On Monday I was delighted to attend the first 2G* in-person meeting in our notorious Innovation & Best Delivery Hub with non-Clifford Chance people. To be on the safe side we did tests on top.
On Tuesday I enjoyed my first business ride on a train since March 2020, followed by a nice 2G* networking dinner, including an overnight stay in a hotel.

Today we had our first Continental European IT Summit since ages. It was the first really big hybrid event, with close to 50 participants meeting in their respective offices, from their homes or on the road. All at a distance and no huddling.
You already know that I know nothing about football. I have to quote the next best English ex-kicker to be able to say something about it. But I do know something about Tech. And as a German, of course, I also know about Data Protection. The Corona-Warn-App (which we proudly helped with) is now a year old and, in my eyes, a huge success!
