Steffen Kootz

Steffen Kootz studied law at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. He is the founder of the student initiative eLegal and the initiator of the digital learning platform "Legal Tech University." He has already worked in several law firms in the areas of Legal Tech and Legal Operations and also leads a course on the digitization of law at the University of Göttingen.

"Digitization is changing the legal industry. However, aspiring lawyers are not yet sufficiently prepared for these changes during their training. Both at universities and during legal clerkship, there are too few opportunities to engage with this future-oriented topic. I would like to use the platform of the Legal Revolution to promote knowledge exchange across locations and to create better coordinated – preferably low-threshold – entry-level offers."
