Welcome to the APAC Legal Hackers Summit, hosted by Singapore Legal Hackers in conjunction with the Singapore Academy of Law's Future Law Innovation Programme (FLIP), LawTech.Asia, and the Singapore Management University Legal Innovation & Technology Club.

At this Summit, we are gathering all our Legal Hackers chapter organisers from Bali, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, Manila, Melbourne, Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo, Wellington, and Singapore.

We hope to use the Summit to give you an insight to the legal innovation that is happening in all over APAC.

We would also like to invite you to contribute to the State of Legal Innovation APAC Report. If you are brimming with insights and experiences on legal innovation in your home country, this is your opportunity to share your expertise.

Anyone and everyone is welcome!

If you have any questions at all, feel free to shoot us a message at sglegalhackers@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing you on the 17th!
