OUR MISSION
By leveraging technology and innovation, the HKLab facilitates a well-coordinated and high-tech approach to addressing the challenges our clients face, resulting in optimum delivery of legal services in the most cost-effective manner possible.
Through the HKLab, we build prototypes and proof-of-concept software solutions, then work with client engineers to industrialize software solutions, adding key features and resources such as:
· Coding workshops for lawyers and other business leaders and professionals
Smart Contract drafting (in several protocols, including solidity in Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric chain code written in Go and client side portals in Node.js)
· Blockchain (in virtually every open source protocol)
Convergence/bridging the gap between technology and the law
Holland & Knight professionals across disciplines work with state-of-the-art software and hardware developers through our virtual lab
