Legal Tech

The career opportunities after graduation are diverse. You can work in all companies as well as in "classic" law firms and management consultancies that are preparing for the digital transformation or are already implementing it. Your skills cannot be covered by the established managers in companies because their digital understanding could not be developed at a young age. That's why young people are sought after who can digitally transform classic areas of expertise.

This starts with the legal departments in companies, which have to cope with compliance requirements, for example, in order to make legal issues transparent for all employees. However, management consultancies and law firms are also facing a digital turnaround in a broad range of topics, as decision-making processes and workflows are becoming increasingly digitalised.

Public authorities, associations and foundations are also open to our graduates as potential employers. The field of activity extends to all fields in which the application of internal rules or legal regulations plays a role.

Incidentally, this also applies to the industries for which the Mediadesign Hochschule has already prepared students with its study programmes: Music industry, book market, art market, TV and film industry, performing arts, architecture market, design agencies, press market, advertising market, software and games industry.

But legal tech is not limited to the creative industries. Legal tech transports digital creativity into all areas of business and administration. Legal Tech is the stepping stone to management positions in all companies. The mdh stands for the seal of a fresh way of thinking even in traditional disciplines. This is exactly what is needed in the digital turn.

Typical professions are:

Legal-Tech Expert, Legal Designer, Project Leader; Digital Transformation Manager; Digital Transformation Consultant; Change Management Expert; Business Strategy Analyst; Senior Marketing Manager; Data Analyst; Innovation Manager; Agile Expert; IT Business Consultant; Head of Digitalization; Global Partnerships Manager...

Advantages for law students, legal trainees & assessors:

Legal education at universities is still geared to imparting the qualification to become a judge. So far, it has not been geared to meet the changing requirements of the increasingly digitalised economy.

Digitisation means further developing the application of law through information technologies and excellently designed user interfaces. This offers great potential for interdisciplinary trained lawyers. The experiences of the generation of "digital natives" are actually excellently suited to open up new digitally shaped professional fields and to meet correspondingly changed professional requirements.

Law students can already experience how the application of law can be digitally supported with the digital tools themselves: The TakeLaw network enables professional support during studies from the 1st semester onwards. In the second degree programme Legal Tech, the competence can be acquired to design corresponding tools for the professional world according to needs.

Career prospects

Our graduates become sought-after specialists who can analyse legal business processes in an interdisciplinary manner, design them digitally and implement them technically.

Typical professions are:

Legal-Tech Expert, Legal Consultant, Project Leader; Digital Transformation Manager; Digital Transformation Transformation Consultant; Change Management Expert; Business Strategy Analyst; Senior Marketing Manager; Data Analyst; Innovation Manager; Agile Expert; IT Business Consultant; Head of Digitalization; Global Partnerships Manager...
