But we know we\u2019ve only scratched the surface of all the cool ways that lawtech startups can change the legal industry for the better \u2013 not just for lawyers, but for society as a whole. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for us to get out of the London bubble and see what\u2019s going on in the wider world. So Jimmy says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the past few months I\u2019ve been to speak at events in Spain, France and the Netherlands. It\u2019s been enlightening and inspiring to hear from innovators across the continent. When it comes to cutting edge LawTech, everyone instinctively looks to the US, as well as our UK Legal Geek community, but it\u2019s crucial to recognize that Europe is a hotbed of innovation in legal technology, and the startups attracting investment across Europe right now have the potential to change everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s why we decided to take our show on the road, with our 2017 Road Trip. We\u2019re leaving London behind aboard a trusty VW camper van called Betty, in search of more startups and stories. First stop is Amsterdam, where we\u2019re hosting an event with Dutch Legal Tech Meetup; then on to Berlin to speak at the European Legal Tech Association Conference on the 16th, and host the afterparty. Then if you\u2019re in Brussels on the 21st, you can catch our drinks and networking event at BeCentral, followed by another event in Paris on the 26th. The next day we\u2019ll roll Betty back into London, hopefully via a shower, to an event with Thomson Reuters where we\u2019ll reflect on the trip and discuss what\u2019s hot in European LawTech. Check out this page for info on all the stops on our Road Trip \u2013 it\u2019d be great to see you there &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalgeek.co\/legal-geek-road-trip-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.legalgeek.co\/legal-geek-road-trip-2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Road Trip is about learning what\u2019s new in Europe, and we can\u2019t wait to see all the amazing solutions our friends out there have been cooking up. But it\u2019s also about promoting the UK \u2013 it would be fair to say that there\u2019s a bit of turmoil and uncertainty in the UK business and political environments, and it\u2019s really important to us that we give startups a voice in Europe, to remind and reassure them that we\u2019re full of entrepreneurs brimming with great ideas that could empower the industry now and in the future. That\u2019s why we\u2019re working with the Department for International Trade, as well as London and Partners, on this trip. If clients and law firms are international, then LawTech must be too.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to our social media channels on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wearelegalgeek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and our dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalgeek.co\/legal-geek-road-trip-2017\/\">Road Trip<\/a> microsite for all the latest news, views and embarrassing photos from the Road Trip, and don\u2019t forget to say hello if you can make it to one of our events.
