KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 -- Digital Legal Exchange (DLEX), a learning and training institute has reported a successful first quarter of operations.
DLEX is a recently launched non-profit, global institute created to make digital more accessible to corporate law departments and deepen the legal and business connection.
During its first quarter, DLEX mobilised its extensive networks in business, technology, and law by completing workshop engagements with two major global corporations - Pearson and 3M - and enrolled a further 12 multinationals into its virtual workshop programme over the following three months.
According to a statement, DLEX is involved in several global initiatives focused on digital transformation. It will power the Financial Times ‘Digital Lawyers’ programme, which will examine the global legal profession’s digital transformation.
In addition, it has finalised plans to collaborate with the Singapore Academy of Law to deliver a series of workshops to Asia-Pacific based global enterprises.
DLEX will also serve as the knowledge partner of the Singapore TechLaw Fest this September, a virtual event projected to draw 10,000 participants worldwide.
Eighteen months in the planning, DLEX comes at a moment when the need for corporate legal functions to achieve a higher digital quotient is acute.
DLEX faculty advisor, Erik Brynjolfsson said: “Legal will be one of the industries most affected by digital transformation.”
