About the Hub
About the German Legal Tech Hub
We bring together users and providers of Legal Tech and AI – all year round, in cities across Germany and online. We are based in Hannover.
Our missionWe bring legal practice and technology together.
Law firms, legal departments, companies, the judiciary and public administration all face the same question: which legal tech and AI solutions actually help in everyday work – and which don't? Providers, in turn, need direct access to the people who will be using their solutions.
The German Legal Tech Hub creates exactly this connection. We bring decision-makers, providers and experts together through curated events, personal matchmaking and training with a certificate of attendance under § 15 FAO.
- Personal exchange instead of anonymous platforms
- Curated encounters rather than mass events
- Guidance in the legal tech and AI market
- Trust, quality and genuine delivery

Way of working
Curated rather than random
We put together our sessions with care. Roadshows bring practical insights and conversations to your region – with local hosts and tech partners. In the Inner Circle, decision-makers speak candidly in a small group, while in focus groups a fixed group works on a single question over several sessions. If you’re looking for a specific solution, tell the Concierge what you need; we’ll match you and introduce suitable partners in person.
