April 23, 2018 –Nextlaw Ventures, the global legal tech venture capital investor, and Nextlaw Labs, the global legal tech accelerator and innovation consultancy launched by Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, have partnered with Legal Geek for the Around the World Tour to meet with high-potential legal tech startups worldwide.
Legal Geek’s Around the World Tour will cover five legal tech hubs spread across four continents:
- Moscow: May 14
- Singapore: May 17
- Sydney: May 31
- Melbourne: June 4
- San Francisco: June 7
- London: June 19
At each leg of the tour, legal tech startups will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges including a representative from Dentons or Nextlaw. Top startups will be named in each city but only one will be chosen among all the cities to receive a travel grant to attend the famous Legal Geek conference in London on October 17, 2018. The winner will receive an exhibitor stand at the conference and a premium speaking slot in front of an audience of over 2,000 of some of the legal tech community’s best and brightest.
Legal Geek is a global community based in London for legal tech startups focused on providing online resources, thought leadership, social gatherings and events.

“The opportunity to support the evolution of legal communities around the world with Legal Geek is very exciting. It’s all about creating meaningful connections with like-minded people,” said Marie Bernard, CEO of Nextlaw Labs.
