Paris Bar Incubation Program
The first edition of the IBP incubation program was launched in May 2018. Open to all, the Incubator selects projects created by Parisian lawyers based on their innovative nature, ethical standards, and usefulness to the profession and/or the public.
Once the call for applications is launched and the applications are received, the projects are reviewed and shortlisted by IBP members and the Bar Association’s Ethics Committee.
Following a presentation before a jury composed of members of the IBP, the digital and ethics committees, and the Bar Council, the selected projects join the IBP for a support program.
After several years, and based on feedback from the incubated lawyers, we are considering extending support for projects during their investment and expansion phases through various mechanisms currently under consideration.
An evening event is planned for November 8th at the Maison du Barreau during which incubatees will pitch to potential investors and people from the ecosystem.
Paris Bar Association Incubator: Benefits of the program for startups
Keen to engage with the digital transformations impacting all economic sectors, the IBP is developing a center of expertise on digital topics to benefit professional bodies, all members of the legal profession, and the public through technical publications and training throughout the year.
The various editions of the “Legaltech Night,” organized by the IBP, provide an opportunity to showcase the latest trends and achievements of lawyers in this field. The next edition will take place on February 8, 2024, at the Cloud Business Center.
Legaltechs: What are the trends of yesterday and tomorrow?
Following the surge in interest fueled by both the “uberization” of society and the authorization for lawyers to engage in related and ancillary commercial activities, we are now analyzing a concentration of digital projects undertaken by law firms and software publishers in the legal tech sector.
From independent, paperless, and widespread solutions, we are witnessing more precise and technical offerings based on tools that assist and accelerate law firm services—decision support, document preparation and drafting, etc.—in order to free up their clients’ time for their primary added value: legal advice.
These trends have been particularly pronounced in highly specialized areas of law firm practice—franchising, GDPR compliance, amicable divorce, cyberattacks, etc.
Innovation Award 2023
The Innovation Prize organised by the Paris Bar Incubator aims to support and encourage innovative initiatives that comply with the ethical rules of the legal profession and contribute to improving access to law and justice services.
