The Singapore Academy of Law’s Future Law Innovation Programme and Singtel are co-organising the Singapore leg of the Global Legal Hackathon 2019.

The competition challenges participants to conceptualise and develop innovative technological solutions to tackle real world issues faced by the legal community. Dubbed the «Olympics» of legal hackathons, the Global Legal Hackathon 2019 is open to legal, technology and design professionals. It gives local legal technologists a chance to gain international exposure and to compete against the best from around the world.

The Singapore leg of the competition will take place from 22 to 24 February 2019 at Singtel’s newly refurbished community and collaboration space, Singtel@8George. Teams are expected to draw from the multidisciplinary experience of their members and develop solutions for problem statements posed by SAL and Singtel.

Global Finals

Submissions will be judged on design, feasibility as well as revenue models by members of the law community and Singtel Innov8, Singtel’s corporate venture fund. The winning team from Singapore will win prizes and could advance to the global finals, to be held in May 2019. If successful, the team would join the ranks of Regall LT, a local team that made it to the global finals in New York last year.
