We are bringing digital thinking to the legal world

recode.law is the leading young initiative driving the digitalisation of the legal industry. We think into the future and make young people fit for the biggest opportunity of our generation.

We don't just talk about Legal tech...

In our podcast, we regularly talk to exciting personalities who bring innovation to the legal industry and want to share interesting thoughts with us. In doing so, we show what alternative career paths there can be and what thoughts you can think about.

...but actively help shape it

In our workshops, young lawyers can learn how digitisation works in practice. Together with our partners, they get the opportunity to develop practical applications. Through lecture and discussion formats, we initiate and shape debates, for example on the digitisation of the judiciary or legal education.

We are bringing the best minds together

We are a platform for all young people who no longer want to just watch, but want to shape the future together with us. Together we are a large network of committed doers who want to make a difference.

5 years of recode.law

Last year, recode.law turned 5 years old and, in April, we were able to celebrate this anniversary in Cologne, together with numerous current and former members. Now, it’s time to look back on five wonderful years:   Our locations and our vision recode.law was founded in Münster in 2018 to offer interested parties a platform to engage with legal tech and legal innovation. We are now active at eight locations across Germany. While we were able to open additional locations in the Rhineland (Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bonn), Hamburg and Berlin at the beginning of 2020, we added Passau in 2021, which is now our largest location in terms of members. We opened a location in Leipzig in 2022 and have also been represented in Munich since the end of 2023. We are delighted that we have been able to grow as an organization in this way over the past five

Our Sponsors

As a non-profit organisation, we rely on donations from third parties. Our sponsors not only support us financially, but also provide our members with valuable insights into practice. We regularly exchange content and organise joint events.

We have been awarded!

As part of Lex Superior's Digital Study, we were recognised as a digital pioneer in 2019 for our pioneering work in digitising the legal industry. 

In 2021, we were once again recognised for innovation in studies.

The Digital Study is Germany's most comprehensive study on digitalisation in legal education. On the one hand, it is a continuous snapshot of the state of digitisation in law studies and legal traineeships. On the other hand, it records the opinions, wishes and goals of the most important stakeholders. In this way, the Digital Study is intended to provide all stakeholders with an empirically sound basis for a joint exchange and the design of the digital transformation of legal education.
