From “Greenwashing” to Verifiable Compliance – How to Visualize ESG Reporting?
From “Greenwashing” to Verifiable Compliance – How to Visualize ESG Reporting?

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting is no longer just a nice addition — it is a global legal obligation and one of the biggest sources of regulatory and investor risk. Companies are under increasing pressure to prove their ethical claims.

The problem is that these reports are often a pile of scattered, textual data that are unclear for auditing and prone to suspicion of so-called “Greenwashing” (false representation of environmental or social responsibility). This is where LDT and Legal Tech come together to turn vague claims into transparent and legally verifiable evidence.

The Risk of Unreadability: Why Do Text-Based ESG Reports Lead to Greenwashing?

Companies use Legal Tech (RegTech platforms) to collect complex data on energy consumption, gender equality, or supply chain ethics. But when this data reaches the legal or communications team, it often turns into a long, narrative-style report.

This creates three key problems and risks:

Regulatory Risk: If the reports are ambiguous, regulatory bodies (especially in the EU/Geneva) have grounds for sanctions due to false information, and the penalties are severe.

Loss of Investors: Investors (especially in New York) demand verifiable data. If a company cannot clearly show its progress, it loses both capital and trust.

Operational Chaos: Internal teams cannot easily track their contribution to ESG goals if data is scattered.

LDT serves as a tool for turning raw data into a functional compliance system.

LDT designs visual tools that turn complex international obligations into simple and functional business decisions.

LDT designs an interface that not only reports compliance but also makes it simple to audit and implement internally.

Visual ESG Dashboard: Instead of hundreds of pages, LDT creates visual control panels. Using color codes and metrics, a single dashboard instantly shows investors where the company is green (compliant) and where it’s red (at risk).

Accountability Chain Map (Governance): LDT designs clear flow diagrams that visually display who within the company is responsible for each part of the ESG report. This eliminates confusion and prevents blame-shifting in case of non-compliance.

Report Standardization: LDT is used to create visually consistent and comparable reports for all stakeholders (regulators, consumers, investors), ensuring that the truth about compliance is told clearly and unambiguously.

LDT and RegTech together transform ESG reporting from a regulatory burden into a strategic advantage. By designing verifiable transparency, companies not only avoid the risk of Greenwashing but also actively attract ethically driven investors.

Is your company truly working on compliance — or has it just mastered the art of beautifully hiding uncomfortable data?

Global Compliance: How to Design Rules for Data Flow Across Different Jurisdictions (EU/US)?
Global Compliance: How to Design Rules for Data Flow Across Different Jurisdictions (EU/US)?

Today’s business is global, and data knows no borders. Yet, laws are still local. Because of this, IT managers and lawyers face a regulatory nightmare: transferring data between jurisdictions with different legal frameworks (such as EU-GDPR and various US laws) turns into a high-risk minefield.

Companies try to manage this risk through hundreds of pages of legal documents. However, these documents are useless in moments of quick decision. Legal Design Thinking (LDT), in combination with RegTech tools, is essential to turn that risk into an operational roadmap.

Data is global, law is local: The regulatory complexity minefield

The problem in global compliance lies in three key points which LDT solves:

Risk of fines: Violating rules on data transfer, even accidentally, leads to massive penalties (e.g., GDPR). Human error is crucial here.

Operational friction: Legal teams clash with operational teams about whether data can be moved from Berlin to New York. Decisions are slow, and business suffers.

Inefficiency of text: Traditional legal documents are too long to provide the quick, clear YES or NO decision needed in the digital economy.

RegTech tools track legal changes in real time, but LDT is the one that designs the user interface for that information. LDT is the one that designs the user interface for that information.

Visual management of global legal and business risks

LDT designs visual tools that turn complex international obligations into simple and functional business decisions.

Visual Data Flow Map: LDT creates graphic diagrams that represent Data Pathway across different countries. The map clearly shows: What type of data can go from the EU to the US? and Which legal mechanism (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses – SCC) must be applied? This simplifies rules into color and shape.

Interactive Checklists: For employees making quick decisions, LDT designs simple, visually guided tools. If an employee selects ‘Personal Data’ and ‘US,’ the tool visually shows a red light and points to the required legal clause, preventing risk in seconds.

Simplified Transfer Agreements: Even complex agreements like SCCs can be redesigned. LDT creates visually structured contracts that highlight the key obligations of both parties, ensuring legal teams in different jurisdictions quickly and clearly understand the agreed level of protection.

For companies operating globally, LDT transforms compliance from an expensive obligation into an operational advantage. By creating transparent, visual rules, LDT ensures data travels safely and efficiently, without the risk of global regulatory fines. This increases business speed and builds trust.

Given the complexity of international relations, is visual data management the only way to avoid regulatory penalties?

Readiness for Attack – How to Design a Response Strategy for a Data Breach?
Readiness for Attack – How to Design a Response Strategy for a Data Breach?

In today’s digital reality, the question is not whether an attack will happen, but WHEN. Almost every company has a Data Breach Response Plan, but these plans are often lifeless, bureaucratic 50-page PDFs that are completely useless in moments of crisis and panic.

In the first hours of a digital attack, it is crucial to know WHO, WHAT and WHEN must act. Legal design turns this confusing crisis into a calm and visually guided process.

The Risk of Panic and Bureaucratic Errors

In times of crisis, traditional plans fail because no one can quickly find the key legal clause or protocol. Panic leads to bureaucratic mistakes that are costly.

This creates three key risks:

1. Loss of time: Every minute is critical. Searching for answers in long documents increases response time.

2. Increased fines: Delays in notifying regulators (e.g., under GDPR) result in huge penalties, and ignorance is no excuse.

3. Damage to reputation: A chaotic internal reaction leads to poor external communication, causing irreparable harm to client trust.

Legal Tech (monitoring tools) can provide automatic alerts about an attack, but Legal Design Thinking is what tells the team how to react.

Designing a Crisis Command Center

LDT transforms a static legal document into an operational command center

Visual Workflow
LDT creates simple graphic flowcharts that can be printed and posted on the wall. The diagram clearly shows: IF a phishing attack occurs, THEN Team A is called, THEN the Legal Department is notified, and ONLY THEN does PR issue a statement. No reading – just step-by-step following.

Crisis Dashboard Visualization
Using Legal Tech for notifications, LDT designs an interface that doesn’t send long emails, but instead provides a clear visual alert that immediately highlights the three priorities for that hour:
Isolate the system,
Do not communicate publicly,
Contact the director.

Simple Notification Templates: Legal obligations for notifying clients and regulators are complex. LDT designs visually guided notification templates that ensure all legal and regulatory requirements are met quickly and without error.

LDT does not reduce the risk of a digital attack, but it drastically reduces the risk of human and bureaucratic mistakes WHEN the attack comes. It turns a stressful legal risk into an operational advantage and clearly shows that the company was prepared.

Is it time for your Response Plan to become a visual handbook, instead of an unread legal document?

Legal chaos in the metaverse: How Legal Design Thinking brings order to the virtual world?
Legal chaos in the metaverse: How Legal Design Thinking brings order to the virtual world?

The metaverse promises us a new reality – a space where we can work, create, socialize, and trade without physical boundaries. Sounds great, doesn’t it? However, where there are no boundaries, there are no traditional laws. Behind the promise of virtual freedom lies true legal chaos.

How can we establish order in a world that does not obey the rules of physical reality?

The rules of the old world don’t apply in the new

Our legal systems have been built for centuries on the concepts of the tangible world: territory, ownership of physical objects, face-to-face interactions. The metaverse erases all these boundaries and creates unique problems.

Ownership problem: What does it really mean to own virtual property, such as a digital plot of land? If you buy something in the metaverse, do you have any rights if the platform suddenly disappears? Traditional contracts are too complex and inapplicable to property that does not exist physically.

Intellectual property problem: How can you protect your brand or copyrighted work when someone can make a perfect copy of your avatar or design in seconds? Traditional copyright enforcement is slow and inefficient for such an environment.

Jurisdiction problem: Imagine a fraud occurring in a virtual world, with the scammer in one country, the victim in another, and the server on a third continent. Whose laws apply? This creates a “legal black hole” where justice is unclear and user safety is at risk.

Legal Design Thinking: A new compass for the legal labyrinth of the metaverse

Instead of trying to force the digital world into outdated legal frameworks, Legal Design Thinking (LDT) offers a radically different approach. LDT is a method that combines law, design, and technology with the goal of making legal processes understandable, intuitive, and efficient. LDT does not create new laws but “redesigns” them for the new reality.

Here’s how LDT can bring order to the metaverse:

1. Visual contracts for digital property: Contracts for buying virtual property can be designed as interactive, visual maps. Users could see property boundaries, access rights, and terms of use without reading hundreds of pages of legal text. This makes justice more accessible.

2. Clear licenses for digital creations: Copyright licenses can be presented as simple cards. Inside the virtual asset itself (e.g., an NFT), there could be a visual display of who the author is, what usage rights exist, and whether it can be sold. This solves the issue of transparency and fraud.

3. Gamification of legal processes: Rules of conduct and laws can be embedded directly into the structure of the virtual world. A user who breaks the rules could receive a visual warning within the game, along with a clear explanation of the consequences. This makes justice part of the user experience rather than an external burden.

Legal chaos in the metaverse is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. LDT transforms abstract legal concepts into tools that empower users and enable a safer and fairer virtual experience.

In the end, the question remains: Can justice in the virtual world, thanks to innovations like LDT, become more transparent and accessible than the one in the real world?

LDT in the fight against cybercrime: How to catch hackers and fraudsters “in the act” legally?
LDT in the fight against cybercrime: How to catch hackers and fraudsters “in the act” legally?

Every day we hear about digital attacks, scams, and data theft. While cybercriminals are fast, global, and technologically advanced, the justice system often appears slow, outdated, and struggles to deal with the complexity of digital evidence.

Behind every online offense lies a complex web of data, logs, and transactions that traditional lawyers often find incomprehensible. This is our greatest challenge: how do we turn complex digital trails into evidence a court can understand? The answer lies in Legal Design Thinking.

When digital evidence gets lost in translation

Imagine a fraud victim trying to file a report. On one hand, she has dozens of suspicious emails, social media messages, and bank transaction records. On the other hand, she faces an official reporting form that demands information in a format that doesn’t reflect the nature of a digital attack.

This leads to three key problems:

Lack of clarity: The huge amount of digital traces confuses and complicates investigations.

Complexity: Lawyers and police are not IT experts. To them, digital evidence is a “black box.”

Obsolescence: Traditional legal forms and procedures were never designed for the speed and nature of cybercrime.

In such a system, justice is often out of reach.

Legal Design Thinking: A new tool in the fight against fraud

Instead of the legal system continuing to struggle with outdated tools, LDT offers solutions that make justice accessible and transparent.

1. Visual timelines of cyberattacks: Instead of forcing judges to go through hundreds of pages of emails, LDT allows for a visual representation of the attack. We can create a clear infographic showing the sequence of events – from the first contact with the fraudster, through money transfers, to the final theft. In this way, a complex story becomes understandable to everyone.

2. User-oriented forms: As we outlined earlier, fraud reporting forms can be designed with victims in mind. Step-by-step instructions, clear language, and a simple format allow victims to provide all key information without stress or confusion.

3. Clear visualization of rights: LDT can create charts and diagrams that explain which rights victims have and what the next step in the process is. This empowers victims and restores their sense of control.

In the end, LDT is not here to replace the human factor. The goal is not for machines to deliver judgments, but to make the justice system – from reporting to trial – simpler, more efficient, and fairer.

So, what do you think: is technology the most powerful weapon in the fight against crime, or is it still the greatest threat?

More than an algorithm: How LDT is changing intellectual property law in digital art
More than an algorithm: How LDT is changing intellectual property law in digital art

Redesigning intellectual property for the 21st century: AI is a tool with skills, and humans give it vision

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly common creative partner in the world of art, design, and writing. However, this new era has created a deep divide in intellectual property law. Many believe that AI is the new author, not just a tool. But is that really the case?

We argue the opposite: AI is only a digital brush. Before court rulings in this field, we state our position

AI is a tool with skills, and humans give it vision, heart, and soul

My personal process of creating illustrations for this blog is the best proof of this claim. At first, AI didn’t understand my vision for the illustration. The results were generic and impersonal. I had to retrain the algorithm and give precise instructions until I finally achieved what I truly wanted. Every point, every line, and every detail in the final illustrations are the result of my instructions, my revisions, and ultimately a reflection of my childhood and my ideas.

The algorithm has no memories, emotions, or vision. It doesn’t know why a certain color matters to you, nor does it understand the symbolism you bring into the final work. It only processes information. It is not the author, and we must not allow it to be presented as such.

Legal Design Thinking: A new standard for intellectual property

This is where Legal Design Thinking (LDT) comes in. Instead of struggling with outdated definitions and trying to force new technologies into old legal frameworks, we design solutions aligned with modern reality. We create:

Visual contracts that clearly define ownership of AI-generated content. This means that through a simple infographic, you immediately know what rights you have and which ones the platform retains.

Simple licenses that ensure artists and creators retain copyright over their works, even when using AI tools. This empowers the creator and protects their vision.

Transparent processes that visually show the human role in creating a work. This serves as clear and undeniable proof of authorship if a dispute ever arises.

Intellectual property law must no longer be an obstacle. It must become an enabler for creatives in the digital era.

How Legal Design Thinking changes your relationship with justice
How Legal Design Thinking changes your relationship with justice

Fundamentals of the LDT approach and how to apply it in legal practice

Law at your fingertips: how Legal Design Thinking changes your relationship with justice

Imagine you are an entrepreneur with a vision, yet the contract placed before you feels like an impenetrable wall. Or, that you are a citizen trying to exercise your rights in a complex administrative procedure, with your only guidance being a stack of unreadable forms.

In traditional legal practice, this is reality. But there is another way.

That way is Legal Design Thinking — a methodology that transforms law from a complicated labyrinth into a clear navigational map. We are not simply modernizing law; we are redesigning it with one goal: to make justice accessible, transparent, and truly work for you.

What is Legal Design Thinking and why do you need it?

Legal Design Thinking applies design principles (empathy, visualization, simplicity) to law. Our role is not just to interpret legislation but to empower you. We achieve this through:

Empathy as a foundation: Everything begins with deep understanding. We listen to your needs, fears, and goals, whether you are an entrepreneur starting a business, a defendant in a criminal case, or an individual in a family dispute.

Law you can understand: We eliminate legal jargon. We turn complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice and documents you can genuinely understand.

Visualization as a tool: Visual tools are our strength. We create “roadmaps” that illustrate legal or administrative procedures, “IP portfolio maps” to organize your intellectual property, and “legal dashboards” to monitor compliance. Legal strategy becomes something you can see and interact with.

Partnership, not service: You are not merely a client; you are a partner in the process. Through collaboration and feedback, we design legal solutions tailored to you and your case.

From theory to practice: What does designed law look like? In our practice, LDT is not only a concept, but the basis of every case.

Criminal law: From fear to strategy. Instead of leaving you in uncertainty, we create a “case roadmap” that visually presents every stage of the procedure, giving you a sense of control in difficult moments.

Intellectual property: From idea to protection. Your ideas are your greatest asset. We not only protect them, but organize them through an “IP portfolio map” that shows your patents, trademarks, and copyrights at a glance, enabling strategic asset management.

AI law: From innovation to responsibility. In the world of artificial intelligence, law must be embedded in design. Through an “AI risk map,” we identify and mitigate legal and ethical risks (such as algorithmic bias and data protection) early in development.

Business law: From bureaucracy to growth. For your company, we design a “startup roadmap” and “visual contract models” that are adaptable and easy to use. Law becomes a tool for growth, not a barrier.

Civil law: From dispute to resolution. Whether it is contracts, inheritance, or damages, we simplify the process. We use an “inheritance map” to visually present asset distribution and “visual contracts” with clear icons to ensure transparency. Our goal is to restore law as a mechanism for problem-solving, not a source of problems.

Foreigners’ rights: From uncertainty to clarity. For international protection or residence permits, we design a visual plan that helps you integrate into a new society with dignity and security.

Administrative law: The state as a partner, not an obstacle. With our “bureaucracy roadmap,” you receive a clear guide through all administrative procedures.

Social responsibility (ESG): From ethics to strategy. We turn corporate responsibility into actionable practice. We design “visual codes of conduct” and internal policies that are easy to follow, ensuring human rights compliance and preventing “greenwashing.”

Online consultations: Law without borders, with LDT. Our online consultations are not just video calls, but structured processes. Before the meeting, we prepare you with an interactive questionnaire. During the session, we use visual tools to explain complex matters. Afterwards, you receive a graphic summary and clear action plan, not lengthy memos.

The final result: what do you gain with the design approach?

With Legal Design Thinking, you gain legal certainty, clear answers, and the confidence that you are in control of your situation. You reduce stress, save time and resources, and feel respected in the legal system. You receive what you are entitled to by law — without feeling neglected or that justice is selective.

Legal Design Thinking is not just a new trend in law. It is our commitment to restoring law to what it should be — a powerful, clear, and accessible tool for everyone.

We invite you to experience law at your fingertips.
