  LawWiser

  May 2020 - now

  Founder

  LawWiser is an online knowledge sharing platform for the legal community. We aim to build a community of lawyers to facilitate peer-to-peer learning, sharing of opinions, policy advocacy and thought leadership. At the same time, we create opportunities for networking, visibility and engagement with relevant audiences. Our content contributors and clients include in-house legal counsel, law firm partners, senior advocates, academia and legal tech entrepreneurs. We work with all the different stakeholders of the legal community. One of the unique features of LawWiser is that it is a video-driven platform, which makes content consumption easier and quicker. Compared to long form legal content, videos have an appeal to a more broad-based audience, including CXOs who want to understand how policy changes can affect their business. Making videos is not just about video production. It is more about the conceptualisation and content strategy. Here is where the LawWiser team can help. We are a diverse team of lawyers, communications professionals and digital marketers. Together, we make a winning combination as we can hand-hold lawyers through every step of video content creation.
