Nextlaw Labs, the innovative legal tech venture development company launched by global law firm Dentons, has partnered with Legal Geek in an unprecedented European road trip to scout high potential legal tech startups.

The road trip will cover five European capitals, which are active hubs for the legal tech community:

• Amsterdam: WeWork, Weteringschans 165C – June 13
• Berlin: Von Greifswald, Greifswalder Str. 80 – June 16
• Brussels: BeCentral, Cantersteen 10 – June 21
• Paris: Le Square 3 Passage Saint-Pierre Amelot – June 26
• London: Thomson Reuters, 30 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf - June 27

During the road trip, legal tech startups will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to Legal Geek and lawyers from Dentons and professionals from Nextlaw Labs. The 20 most promising startups will be selected to present at Legal Geek conference in London on October 17, 2017.

“Following our successful collaboration with Seedcamp last year, Nextlaw Labs is continuing to explore and support the potential of legal tech in Europe through our partnership with the Legal Geek road trip,” said Dan Jansen, CEO of Nextlaw Labs.

Legal Geek is a community for legal tech startups. In addition to an online portal, it organizes events, including the Legal Geek Conference, and provides thought leadership on startups.

“We will be touring Europe’s legal tech hot spots in a VW van to find the coolest startups on the market. This road trip is about bringing together the startup ecosystem and the legal sector, in a laid back, come-as-you-are style,” said Jimmy Vestbirk, Founder of Legal Geek.

The latest news from the road show can be tracked on social media using the hashtag #LGRoadTrip.
