What impact legal design has on commercial practice?\nWhat do we need to do, individually, as users, and as lawyers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Legal Design approach can be used to empower people, societies, communities, and entities in their legal matters and life in general. It would make legal products, services, and processes more ethical, efficient, transparent, and fair. This would overall save money, time, and unnecessary long-drawn legal battles, which is a win-win for our societies as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will intelligible, accessible, and engaging legal documents be the new normal tomorrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/hanken-schoolofeconomics\/episodes\/Legal-Design-towards-more-intelligible-contracts-and-laws-em7hng\"><strong>Tune in<\/strong><\/a> for a fascinating discussion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-spotify wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Sustainability Unwrapped: Legal Design and Ethics in Commercial Contracts\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/0grEEXKdnvxJHCqwH0OihY?si=GE5PaMV3T5CcYjuM3RURMg&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/11\/E03_Nousiainen.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Episode 3 Transcript<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.hanken.fi\/sustainability-unwrapped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/11\/E03_Nousiainen.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>The text is based on Katri Nousianen&#8217;s work<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nousianen, K.
