LegalQuants Founder · 160K+ views on demos · 150+ forks

Funds lawyer in Hong Kong. Started automating fund doc reviews as a trainee in 2020 and mapping retail prospectuses against regulations. When generative AI hit, he built a lot of internal tools that saw widespread adoption globally. Wanting to show that lawyers can build, he recreated the core tabular review feature of platforms like Harvey and Legora in an afternoon, then kept vibe-coding legal tech tools. The demos racked up over 160K views and his open-source repos were forked over 100 times, inspiring more lawyers to build in public and bringing about a vibe-coding movement within the legal community. He has since been featured on multiple legal tech podcasts and founded LegalQuants, an invitation-only community for lawyers who code.

Building open-source legal ops and other tools with AI (and a few passion products that might go commercial)

Deputy General Counsel by day, legal tech builder by night. I design and ship software that solves real in-house legal pain points — contract lifecycle management, privacy compliance, vendor risk, and team operations. I've open-sourced 28 tools for in-house legal teams and built Legal Flow, an enterprise platform that unifies them into one workspace. My stack is TypeScript, Next.js, and Claude AI. I believe the lawyers who build their own tools will define the next era of legal operations. I do this for fun.

Turning regulatory complexity into structured, computable legal workflows

I'm Legal Counsel at Capgemini in Germany (dual SME in AI governance and EU cybersecurity) and Of Counsel at Planit Legal, a boutique IT and data protection firm in Hamburg. Day to day, I work across EU digital regulations and complex technology transactions. I started building legal tools out of interest&frustration: regulatory requirements scattered across dozens of instruments, no practical way to operationalize compliance, and a persistent gap between legal advice and business implementation. That turned into several AI-enhanced tools covering contract analysis, cross-regulatory compliance mapping, and automated regulatory monitoring. I'm currently developing a modular AI skill library for legal workflows, a RAG pipeline for EU legal documents, and running AI service pilots at Capgemini. What draws me to LegalQuants: I want to be part of bringing Legal to code and the digital age, as I believe it is the next level of our practice. I'm looking for people who think the same way and want to learn from what others are building.

Senior legal counsel in Singapore with 15+ years across litigation and in-house — who writes code at night and does law stuff in the day. Built redlines in 2021 because Singapore’s statutory simplification exercise needed something better than git diff, and the library ended up in Andrew Ng’s DeepLearning.AI course without him knowing.

Bringing creativity to law, humanity to tech, to inspire growth and change

Senior Legal Counsel at a large UK bank, where I support several businesses in the commercial bank and lead AI and legal-tech adoption for my team. My work sits at the intersection of law, innovation, and change — from advising on emerging invoice finance models to building tools that help legal teams work smarter. I’ve spent years helping organisations navigate the gap between how legal has always worked and how it could work — leading the Bank’s first legal chatbot, building an intake-to-mobilisation tool at LegalQuants’ own hackathon, and mapping AI workflows so my team can use these tools with confidence and judgment. What drives me is the belief that lawyers shouldn’t just adapt to change — they should shape it. I came to legal tech not from a purely technical route, but from wanting to bring creativity to legal — to inspire growth, spark new ways of thinking, and be part of something that genuinely moves the profession forward.

Legal Counsel · London

I'm Legal Counsel at Blossom Capital, Europe’s leading dedicated Series A VC firm, with $1.5bn AUM, renowned for its high-conviction strategy. Blossom brings relentless belief and powerful support to Europe's most audacious founders, our breakout unicorns include Checkout, Moonpay, Pigment, Tines & Harmonic. My work spans the full investment lifecycle — from negotiating term sheets and financing documents across multiple jurisdictions to supporting portfolio companies with ad hoc legal queries and exit documentation. The role sits at the intersection of law, technology investment, and fund management, which means I think a lot about how AI is being built and deployed — not just as a regulatory matter, but as an investor in the companies building it. I came to this hackathon without an engineering background and with a specific practical problem: Blossom's portfolio companies needed a clear, structured way to understand their obligations under the EU AI Act. The regulation is consequential, its risk tiers matter, and most existing resources don't translate well for founders who need to make implementation decisions, not pass a compliance exam. So I built one. Using Claude's API and Replit, I put together the EU AI Act Navigator — a tool that walks users through prohibited practices screening, risk tier classification, role determination (provider vs deployer), and gap analysis, then generates tailored compliance guidance based on their specific system and context. No prior coding experience. Just a problem worth solving. The hackathon has been an awesome introduction to what's possible when legal expertise meets the right tools, and I'm looking forward to continuing to build — and to being part of the inspiring LegalQuants community while doing it!

First project: an NDA tracker that pulls key fields from uploaded contracts using AI, flags positions you deem to be high/medium risk, and keeps everything reviewable by a human. Still early, still learning. Next on the list is a tax efficiency options calculator (not financial advice!) for English employees.

Applying AI to Modernize Patent Practice

I joined LegalQuants because I’ve always believed that legal professionals should be builders — not just consumers — of the tools that shape our work. That belief came into sharp focus during the recent LegalQuants Hackathon, where I spent the weekend creating a fast, automated trademark‑clearance prototype. With a simple workflow built in Replit, I designed a lightweight system that runs three parallel checks on a proposed mark: 1. Name‑variation analysis to catch confusingly similar terms 2. Web search to identify real‑world use 3. USPTO Trademark database queries to surface existing filings In my demo, I ran the name “OmniFlow” for a hypothetical water bottle. Within seconds, the prototype generated a high‑risk assessment — driven by identical marks already registered for related goods and corroborated by web evidence. It wasn’t a production system, but it was a clear reminder of what’s possible when legal reasoning meets accessible coding platforms. More importantly, it showed how quickly ideas turn into prototypes when legal professionals are given the space, community, and encouragement to build. That’s what brought me here: a community that believes in experimentation, shared learning, and the power of hands‑on innovation. Huge thanks to Jamie Tso, Raymond Sun, Rocky Li, and the entire LegalQuants team for creating an environment where legal technologists can stretch, explore, and create.

Group Head of Area Information Security Solutions · Germany

LQ002 Hackathon

Technology rewards expertise. It doesn't substitute for it.

I've spent the better part of a decade in information security, first in consulting, now leading a security team in-house at a European asset manager. Highly regulated environments suit me. I like complexity, and I've never been someone who could stay in one lane. Over time, my work naturally expanded beyond the technical. Managing vendors, reviewing contracts, collaborating with legal counsel and procurement, these became as much a part of my day as threat models and audit trails. When my employer asked me to lead the introduction of AI governance, it felt less like a new direction and more like everything I'd been working toward converging at once: security, compliance, legal thinking, and the practical question of how AI actually gets used responsibly inside an organisation. That interdisciplinary pull is what eventually brought me to legal technology. I enrolled on an LL.M. in Legal Tech in the summer of 2025, having already spent years on the fringes of the legal world without the formal language to describe it. My academic background is a mix of engineering and social sciences, which probably explains why I'm more interested in how systems interact than in optimising any single one of them. What I'm building now is Scrutio, a regulatory contract compliance platform for EU financial institutions, born out of the LegalQuants Hackathon. It sits exactly at the intersection I've always worked in: security, regulation, contracts, and AI, brought together into something useful. My goal is to contribute to a world where legal technology, governance, and (financial) regulation are treated as what they already are: deeply connected.

In all my roles, I've always been involved in legal operations and technologies to some degree. Also, who would have thought that learning coding through a video game years ago would lead me to develop legal AI tools that drive efficiency for legal teams? The intersection between law and technology has always fascinated me, and I am constantly looking to learn more about emerging technologies, their implications for privacy, and the future use cases of AI. Possibly a controversial opinion, but I do not think AI will ever replace lawyers - only those who do not know how to use it. Just like how every lawyer now uses a computer, every lawyer will soon use AI.

Lawyer by training, builder by instinct: Crypto counsel building tools that think like a lawyer

I build and shape the legal function within the world’s largest independent crypto data aggregator, CoinGecko. My role spans the full legal spectrum, from drafting and product counselling to regulatory compliance and legal operations, where efficiency and clarity are critical to supporting a fast-moving business in the ever-evolving web3 space. Operating at this intersection, I’ve learned that traditional legal approaches alone are not enough. Working smart is not optional, it’s essential. That’s where AI and systems thinking come in. Inspired by our product and engineering teams, I began vibecoding as a way to better understand how they think and to speak their language more effectively. What started as a learning exercise has since evolved into building tools of my own, bridging legal judgment with product thinking. Today, I’m developing solutions ranging from crypto analytics tools (such as token pump detection models built on multiple data signals) to applications that assist with contract review and redlining. More broadly, I’m focused on creating tools that help individuals and businesses navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory and industry landscape in crypto and fintech. My goal is simple: to turn legal from a reactive function into a scalable, productised system—one that enables better, faster, and more informed decisions.

finding the through line is my (professional) everything

Lawyer since 2012. Trained in litigation, wired for systems. I started as a law clear at the South Carolina Supreme Court clerkship and, subsequently, as a litigator and trial lawyer for the next five years. From that experience, I know how decisions actually get made under pressure. Then I shifted from practicing inside the system to rethinking it: founding a lawyer coworking space, digging into law practice mechanics, and getting obsessed with how legal workflows scale (or don’t). In-house, I’ve applied that lens across both risk and revenue. I’ve managed litigation for a regional mortgage brokerage and now lead commercial and product go-to-market legal at a venture-backed HR tech company, helping build the legal infrastructure that has supported growth from $8M to $100M ARR. I operate in the gaps between legal, product, and revenue, where ambiguity is high and leverage matters. I push past artificial constraints, but not for the sake of it, only where it drives better systems, cleaner decisions, and faster outcomes. I’m most engaged when the problem is complex, the path isn’t obvious, and the answer needs to be built: not found.

Turning legal noise into action

I’m an in‑house legal leader who has spent more than two decades at the intersection of M&A, strategic growth, and technology – from London investment banks to my current role leading the legal teams behind Xero’s new products, technology, ecosystem and corporate transactions. I specialise in working inside the business to manage risk commercially while helping set and deliver on strategy. Both in my day job, but also as President of New Zealand's Inhouse Lawyer's Association (ILANZ), I see every day how in‑house lawyers are drowning in updates – cases, regulations, guidance and law firm insights – with very little tailored to their role, industry and jurisdiction. That frustration gave me the inspiration to use AI tools to prototype products that turn raw legal information into personalised, actionable intelligence for real in‑house teams. For the LegalQuants Hackathon (Cohort 2), I built The Briefcase – an AI‑powered legal update app that learns who you are, what you work on and where you operate, then curates a digest of only the most relevant developments, with feedback loops to keep improving over time. I’m here to connect with others who want to do the same for in‑house lawyers globally: using AI, product thinking and legal judgment to give lawyers less noise, more signal and a bit more breathing room.

Counsel at the intersection of law, technology, and innovation When the precedent hasn’t been set yet, we get to write it

I help organizations navigate the messy, fascinating intersection where law meets cutting-edge technology — making sure innovation doesn't just move fast, but moves thoughtfully. I work with teams building AI systems and new platforms, helping them do it legally, ethically, and sustainably. Think translator, strategist, and early warning system rolled into one. The work sits at the crossroads of law, technology, and business strategy. I'm not just interpreting today's rules—I'm helping teams anticipate what they'll need to consider tomorrow. It's about seeing around corners and turning complex legal frameworks into practical guidance that actually helps people build better products. What drives me is this: you don't have to choose between innovative and responsible. The best solutions happen when you bring legal thinking in early—not as a roadblock, but as part of the design process. Whether that's embedding privacy into product architecture, structuring partnerships for responsible scaling, or developing AI governance frameworks that teams actually want to follow.

Problem solving is my jam

I have always enjoyed thinking about how to do things differently and better, in legal practice as in life. Being able to build the tools you want and need is incredibly empowering. I am a senior disputes and regulatory enforcement lawyer. Before moving inhouse, I worked in several top tier private practice firms in Australia. Prior to my career in private practice, I was a policy professional and diplomat.

Hemma Lomax

Decision Intelligence Architect, VP, Deputy General Counsel, Head of Global Business Integrity, Docusign.

About Me I work at the intersection of law, compliance, and decision design. As VP, Deputy General Counsel, and Head of Business Integrity at Docusign, I focus on a simple but often overlooked question: not whether organizations have good intentions, but whether their systems are designed to support good decisions in the moments that matter. My career has spanned public service and global companies, from the United Nations and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to leadership roles at Disney, Snap, Zendesk, and now Docusign. Across each of these environments, one pattern has remained consistent: breakdowns in integrity are rarely the result of bad actors. They are the result of decision environments that are not built for the scale, speed, or pressure of modern business. My work centers on closing that gap. I focus on building decision-useful compliance systems that help organizations move swiftly, safely, and strategically. This includes rethinking compliance as a navigation layer, designing for threshold moments where judgment matters most, and translating values into practical decision architecture that holds under pressure. I am the author of The Decision Intelligence Gap: From Intention to Execution Through Everyday Decisions and co-author of The Art of Implementation: For Culture Builders. My work explores how organizations can operationalize integrity, not as a principle, but as a system. I am particularly interested in how emerging technologies, including AI, can serve as partners in better decision-making, not just automation tools.

As the gap between technical and non-technical users rapidly narrows, I saw a unique opportunity to bridge the traditional legal world with cutting-edge technology. This shift allows me to directly translate my deep legal and financial expertise into building practical applications. My goal is to automate demanding workflows and facilitate the heavy daily routines of legal practice. I am incredibly excited about what the future holds and the ongoing evolution of this space.

When I'm not working, I'm tinkering with code — sometimes to solve a real workflow problem I've seen in practice, sometimes just to see what I can build. I'm not a software engineer by training. I picked up programming because I kept seeing things that felt like they could be done better, and I wanted to build the solutions myself rather than wait for someone else to. I'm interested in how AI can genuinely transform legal work — not just speed up what we already do, but change how we approach it.

Head of Technology · Rotterdam

OG Hall of Fame

I'm a tech enthusiast and ex-lawyer based in Rotterdam. I started as a software engineer, took a detour through law, and eventually realized I'd rather build tools than draft contracts about them. My career has zigzagged a bit: I founded a digital agency, got curious about law, and spent years as a technology lawyer at a big law firm. That gave me a front-row seat to how legal professionals actually work, and more importantly, where they get stuck. Now I'm back on the tech side as Head of Technology at HVG Law, EY's strategic partner in the Netherlands, and I'm an AI Business Fellow at Perplexity. My time is split between practical AI implementations, mentoring startups focused on social impact, and writing and speaking about legal tech. Over the past few years, I've evaluated dozens of legal AI tools, built multiple internal prototypes, and created a benchmark to test how much difference there is between generic AI solutions and purpose-built legal ones. Spoiler: the gap is often smaller than vendors would have you believe. When I'm not teaching tech to lawyers, you'll find me building a homebrew pinball machine at a local hacker collective (my dad handles the electronics while I do the code), experimenting with holographic art installations, or playing basketball. I also have strong opinions about sustainability, so ask me about them at your own risk.

Solutions-driven legal and commercial professional with 10+ years of experience across PwC, Shell, Capgemini, and Mural, operating at the intersection of negotiation, technology, and process design. My background spans both sales-side and vendor-side negotiations, complex cross-functional initiatives, and legal and commercial risk mitigation. I have led contract negotiations, drafted policies, optimized processes, and supported business teams in high-stakes environments. What differentiates my work is the integration of human-centered design and emerging technologies into legal and operational workflows. As a certified LUMA facilitator, I apply structured problem framing before introducing solutions, ensuring that technology serves real needs rather than adding complexity. Since the release of ChatGPT 3.5, I have built hands-on expertise in generative AI and AI-assisted development. I actively work in VS Code using GitHub Copilot Pro, Claude Code, and Claude Coder to prototype tools, automate workflows, and experiment rapidly with new ideas. Beyond using AI tools, I build with them. I have delivered professional training sessions on AI adoption and prompt engineering for enterprise and university audiences and was selected for the Perplexity Business Fellowship. Most recently, I led Mural’s participation in the EU AI Pact and focused on AI governance strategy, helping design approaches to mitigate generative AI risks in alignment with the EU AI Act, from both provider and deployer perspectives. I am particularly interested in redesigning legal and commercial workflows to reduce friction, improve decision quality, and enable more sustainable ways of working.

Legal & Executive Consultant · Mumbai, India

LQ001 Hackathon

Law with a founder’s instinct and an investor’s lens.

I didn’t enter law by default. I entered it after understanding how systems really work. I began in consulting, working on actuarial valuations and regulatory reporting. That’s where I learned how institutions quantify risk and how compliance quietly shapes strategy. At the same time, I was active in equity and derivatives markets, sharpening my instinct for probability, incentives, and asymmetric bets. Then I moved into startup ideation consulting. Working with founders at the zero to one stage, refining business models, stress testing assumptions, and shaping fundraising narratives. I saw both sides of the table, ambition and capital. That’s when it became clear: law isn’t paperwork. It’s architecture. I formalized my legal training with a focus on technology and data protection, driven by a belief that regulation will define how innovation scales. I operate at the intersection of markets, startups, and law. I understand risk, structure, and execution. And I see regulation not as friction, but as leverage.

I design and build products that move legal work beyond document-centric processes toward structured systems, semantic tooling, and scalable decision-making infrastructure. Outside the legal community, I actively research DeFi-related vulnerabilities and previously served as an intelligence practitioner specialising in GEOINT. The projects featured here are a curated selection of publicly shareable work and simplified implementations intended to demonstrate core ideas.

M. Onur Kafkas

Government Lawyer · Turkey

Dual-qualified lawyer in California and Turkey, currently serving as a government lawyer in Turkey navigating the high-stakes friction between national trade policy and WTO standards. While my day job involves the "logic gates" of international trade, tariff classifications, origin determinations, and duty-drawback claims, my obsession is the architecture of legal research. I focus on building local AI applications and technical workflows to bridge the gap between disparate jurisdictions. I believe the future of law belongs to those with the technical judgment to encode complex legal reasoning into reproducible, AI-augmented systems.

Oliver Schmidt-Prietz

Senior Legal Counsel & practicing Attorney · Germany

I build the tools I wish existed.

German-based Data Protection, AI, IT & EU Digital regulations lawyer. Learned my legal craft at big law firms before going in-house as Senior Legal Counsel — first at a tech company, now at a major software company. Alongside that, I run a boutique practice where I combine traditional advisory with proprietary AI-powered legal tech tools I build myself. Started building out of necessity. Stayed for the vibe coding. My focus: vertical, domain-specific workflows and 'skills' that power up privacy, AI Act, and EU digital compliance work — built by a practitioner, for practitioners and legal teams.

Former corporate bankruptcy partner, current law librarian

I practiced corporate bankruptcy for 10 years and now teach legal research and legal technology as a librarian. I’m also a huge advocate for open access to legal information and am on the board at Free Law Project, so enjoy exploring what's possible with open data. I'm fascinating by the Legal Quants project because I had *so many* of these little ideas when I was practicing, where I could never find quite the right piece of software.

Veronica Lopez

Legal Engineer · Remote / Zurich, Switzerland

Not your typical lawyer

10+ years at an AmLaw 100 firm doing eDiscovery, the work everyone underestimated, the practice area that turned out to be the front line of legal tech. I was training attorneys on AI-enabled tools before anyone called it enablement, and building solutions at night because the firm wasn't going to. No tools, no support, no path forward, so I made my own. I'm not waiting anymore. Let's build!
