Law School 2.O

What Law School 2.O does

Law School 2.O is a UK-based LegalTech education provider founded in 2021 by three co-founders — Annabel Pemberton, Amy Conroy, and Nathan Corr — whose combined backgrounds span corporate law, legal engineering, data science, and AI governance. The company operates as an online education and community platform serving law students, practicing lawyers, paralegals, and LegalTech professionals, and positions itself as the founder of the first open-for-all LegalTech Vacation Scheme. Its stated mission is to close the gap between traditional legal education and the practical innovation, technology, and problem-solving skills required for modern legal practice.

The company's product portfolio consists of two core offerings built around a proprietary "Problem Identification > Solution Creation > Solution Adoption" framework. The first is the annual LegalTech Vacation Scheme (LTVS), a free five-day online programme that combines Skills Days with LegalTech48, a 48-hour challenge in which participants address a real-life legal problem statement and pitch a solution. The second is the Legal Service Innovation (LSI) Course, an on-demand online programme co-developed and co-distributed with BARBRI, available in self-taught (free) and sprint-based (paid, 4-week guided cohort) formats. The technology stack is largely off-the-shelf: the website is hosted on Wix, events are run through Hopin and Eventbrite, and the LSI Course is delivered via the legalserviceinnovation.com platform. The proprietary value sits in the curriculum, the speaker/sponsor ecosystem, and the community rather than in underlying technology infrastructure.

Law School 2.O monetises primarily through tiered B2B sponsorship packages for the LTVS and bespoke events — priced from under £500 to over £10,000 and sold to law firms, LegalTech vendors, and in-house legal teams — and through paid enrolment in the LSI Course sprint cohort. The LTVS itself is free to attendees. Demand generation is community-led, combining content marketing, social media (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram), a campus ambassador programme, an email newsletter, and earned media coverage in legal press such as Artificial Lawyer, Legal Cheek, The Legal Technologist, Modern Lawyer, and the Law Society Gazette. The company has built a community of 5,000+ self-described "change makers" and a partner roster that includes iManage, Betty Blocks, LawtechUK, and major UK and global law firms.
