Legal Tech Glögit Newsletter January 2025
Happy New Year 2025!
Thank you for your collaboration and support throughout the past year. The year 2024 was an exciting and successful year for our network. Not only did the Legal Tech Glögit Network remain vibrant in Finland, but we also saw its concept expand to Sweden!
The founding meeting of Legal Transformation Network, the Sweden chapter of the network, took place in Stockholm at Roschier on October 26, 2024. While the name may differ, the concept of the Swedish chapter is identical, paving the way for exciting opportunities for cross-border collaboration in the coming years.
This newsletter includes:
- An invitation to our 5-year jubileum celebration at Teatteri on January 16, 2025.
- Photos and highlights from the previous sessions hosted by Fondia, Roschier, and the Swedish Bar Association.
- Details about upcoming events, such as the ReqTech event hosted by Sitra and Teknologiateollisuus ry.
I look forward to seeing many of you at our jubileum and throughout the year. Let’s make this year a fantastic year!
Warm regards,

The Founding Meeting of the Legal Transformation Network at Roschier
On November 26, 2024, Roschier hosted the set-up meeting for the Legal Transformation Network in Stockholm, Sweden. The event aimed to accelerate change in the legal field through collaboration and knowledge sharing by launching a new network modelled after the Legal Tech Glögit Network. The event gathered 30 participants from all sectors of the legal field.
Jan Willamo, along with the organizing team—Mia Edwall-Insulander, Helena Hallgarn, Mårten Willamo, and Heikki Ilvessalo—opened the session by highlighting the network’s benefits, and by sharing experiences and insights from Finland.
The discussion moderated by Helena and Heikki, focused on the strategy of the network and action plan for 2025. Participants actively engaged in a dialogue about the network’s mission, value proposition and target audience, laying a strong foundation for the agendas of the future events, and collaborations between the Swedish and Finnish networks.
As a result, the Legal Transformation Network was officially founded, and the first dates for upcoming sessions in Sweden were set.
“Glöggmingel” – The first session in Sweden at the Swedish Bar Association
On December 19, 2024, the Swedish chapter of the network kicked off with a festive “Glöggmingel” at the Swedish Bar Association, bringing together nearly 30 participants.
Charlotta Kronblad joined us online, and her insights sparked engaging discussions on how to embrace and drive legal transformation.
The mingling wasn’t just about glögg and good company—it became a foundation for brainstorming how to create meaningful and practical content for our network. From fostering connections to exploring new ideas in legal practice, this gathering set the tone for what’s to come. Kaisa Kromhof, Jan Söderström and I were part of the Finnish delegation.
