A hackathon is a sprint-like event where entrepreneurs, software developers, innovators, and designers collaborate for one or more days to create creative technology solutions to specific sets of problem statements. The #goal is to develop an MVP (minimum viable product) by the end of the event.
LawTech Hackathon Malaysia is Malaysia’s First Ever LawTech Hackathon. It is a 30 hours hackathon taking place on 20th and 21st October, 2018 at WORQ Subang.
LawTech Hackathon engaged major tech companies, law schools, law firms, in-house legal departments, and legal tech companies in Malaysia to bring together the best of both worlds to create functioning technical solutions needed to solve problems in the Malaysian legal industry.
This is a grassroots movement by a passionate group of people over at Legal Hackers KL. Hackathons are golden opportunities for participants to get yourself noticed by companies whether now or in the future and a chance to accelerate your project after the event.
Especially since this is Malaysia’s First Ever LawTech Hackathon, be one of the first to observe and be part of the growth of LegalTech in Malaysia!
