Arthur Sauzé
Influencer
How attractive is Switzerland globally, as a legal(tech) hub? What do UK, Austria, Luxemburg, France & Germany have in place?
Arthur is an ex-lawyer in Paris, legaltech influencer, international speaker, TEDx speaker, and recently named by Vanity Fair as one of the under-30s who will "change France." He believes that new technologies can improve the quality of tasks performed by lawyers, but that they must be used for a purpose. A free electron, he likes to describe himself as a rebel with an honest and amused laugh. He loves to break codes, even at the risk of antagonizing a segment of the legal profession that resists the intrusion of new technologies into the mills of law.
