They share their stories
The partnership between the Lyon Bar Association incubator and H7 provided crucial support for Libélaw at a key moment in our development. As we were in the midst of launching, being able to discuss, refine, and optimize our strategy was decisive. This support also allowed us to challenge our business model at the most opportune moment, and it was a lot of fun too! It was an invaluable contribution that I highly recommend.

To support the transformation and modernization of the legal profession, the Lyon Bar Association established its own incubator in 2015. Stemming from the work of the Commission on Innovation and the Practice of Law, it supports lawyers in developing innovative projects, fosters the emergence of new professional practices, and encourages the adoption of tools and methods to improve the practice of law. The incubator also helps promote innovation among institutions and the public, while raising awareness and training lawyers on the future challenges facing the profession.
