The Global Legal Innovation Challenge is a partnership between Blakes and LegalX, the legal technology cluster at the MaRS Discovery District, one of the world's leading innovation hubs.

We're asking the international legal technology community to seek a practical solution to an issue facing the practice of law in business settings.

We will be calling on legal technology developers worldwide for their ideas from 24 November 2016 to 15 March 2017.

The winning submission will be offered the opportunity to develop the idea with Blakes, with the possibility of co-launching the solution with our firm.
