Jules Bayon De Noyer<\/strong> is a French law and economics student studying at Universit\u00e9 Paris Nanterre. He is currently based in Hong Kong working for start-up law firm Seraphin.legal which specialises in business and IT law.<\/p>\n Only three months! I started whilst working on a project about Smart Contracts and\u00a0 I decided to follow a computer science course this year in order to keep developing those skills.\u00a0I can code in CMACC and Java Script.<\/p>\n I can be very impatient. At times I thought very hard about restarting everything from zero because something went wrong at the beginning, or I got extremely frustrated not understanding why something in my code didn’t work. But I was thankful I was able to meet people who helped me understand and improve my code.<\/p>\n I am pretty sure they do! In my opinion lawyers of tomorrow need to be cyber lawyers. Using technology effectively, lawyers could spend less time on low-value tasks and focus on high-value ones. For instance, instead of spending much time reviewing documents, they could focus on advising their clients or representing them in court.<\/p>\n I think the master crossover skills between lawyering and coding are rigour and creativity in getting to your objectives in the most efficient, simplest way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Legal Geek is compiling a \u2018hack-book\u2019 of lawyers and legaltechies who code.
