Legal design is the application of design principles (including service design and design thinking) to the practice of law and related work product. Legal designers and legal design agencies work with law firms and legal departments to (1) re-imagine the way that legal and legal-adjacent services are offered and design those services in a way that is directly responsive to client needs, (2) review and re-design legal process in a more user-centric manner, and (3) design legal documents in a way that makes them more intuitive and accessible, thereby improving the experience of the recipient. Legal documents to which legal design methods have been applied are usually shorter, cleaner, and clearer than most, potentially including visual elements. Leading legal design agencies and consultants include Ground M, Astrid Kohlmeyer, and Bold Duck Studios.
