Legal Tech Society: Tech-Reg and Cybersecurity Officer

Hi everyone, my name is Emma and I am running for Tech-Reg and Cybersecurity Officer. As an Economics student, my initial interest stemmed from seeing the intersection of legal technology regulation and economics when reading about the US Department of Justice suing Google for ‘monopolistic control’ over the digital advertising market. As officer I would love to add the following things to our society:

Weekly articles: start a Legal Tech website where we can produce weekly articles about current events or research in specific areas in tech-reg and cybersecurity where members of the society will get the chance to write and publish their own work. I aim to publish at least one article a week in either current events or a member’s topic of choice. Roles as editors for these articles as well as editors of the website can be appointed.

Guest speakers: invite guest speakers who work in the Legal Tech field to hold talks and Q&As about their work, how they got into their line of specialisation and other interesting aspects of their work. Members will get the chance to suggest speakers and vote on their speaker of choice via Google forms.

Monthly socials: monthly socials where society members can get to know each other and discuss their interests over a glass of wine or a picnic, or any other social ideas suggested. I think this social aspect of the society is very important and will allow us to share our ideas for expanding Legal Tech and develop a stronger sense of community.

Hi everyone! My name is Tony and I’m running for the role of Tech-Reg and Cybersecurity Officer! I have avid interests in finance, regulations, and tech and have contributed to the FinTech Review in the past year as a FYR. I am also immensely passionate about the intersection of law and technology and I believe that the Legal Technology Society is the perfect platform to explore this intersection. As the Tech-Reg and Cybersecurity Officer, I hope to delve deeper into the field alongside members and improve the society!

Workshops, Seminars and Resources

The area of legal tech may still be ambiguous to members, but through workshops and seminars we can clearly and succinctly pass on the main ideas of legal tech. We can also provide an online depository where resources are handpicked by executives for members so that it’s relevant and interesting.

Networking events/panels and speakers

The best way to gain experience and exposure to the area is through meeting and networking with professionals in that area. By collaborating with marketing, we can organise panel events and networking opportunities that will allow members to connect with professionals in the industry.

Social events

Above all, I believe a friendly and welcoming environment is the most important aspect of a society. Though our primary goal is to educate our members about legal tech, we want to create a wholesome atmosphere where learning will be enjoyable and exciting!

I believe my enthusiasm and experience in the FinTech society will be paramount in my
