In every organisation, there are moments whose significance only becomes clear with the benefit of hindsight. At LBKP, one such moment was a team-building trip, when several people had the same thought: that there is enormous potential within our teams that goes beyond our day-to-day duties, and that it would be worthwhile to create a space where this potential could be showcased to the outside world.
This is how the LBKP #TechnoLegals Ambassador Programme came into being. Not as a formal project, but as a grassroots initiative.
It would be difficult to say that the programme arose from a specific need. Rather, it was the result of the conviction that organisational culture is not created in documents, but in relationships and joint initiatives.
How did It Actually Start?
One of the ambassadors summed up the programme’s concept as follows: “The aim is to create a space for initiatives that have long been a topic of our discussions.”
Right from the start, there were many ideas for activities within the programme. Suggestions included webinars, integration initiatives and a series of materials on the relationship between law and technology. Within a short time, a list of projects was drawn up, from which those with the greatest potential for implementation were selected.
The First Actions — the Moment We Realized Tt Was Working
One of the first joint activities was working on the materials for the webinar. Initially, a short, informal meeting had been planned to organise the structure of the presentation. In practice, the conversation quickly turned into a longer conceptual discussion.
Each participant contributed their own perspective, experiences and practical examples. As a result, not only was an outline of the webinar agenda produced, but also a consistent approach to preparing future events and materials within the programme.
Why Does This Programme Work?
Many of our clients and partners note that LBKP stands out for its collaborative atmosphere, which is not always typical of law firms. For years, we have focused on a modern approach to work, openness to new ideas, and an organisational culture based on cooperation and knowledge-sharing.
The Ambassador Programme is a natural extension of this approach. It does not operate within the rigid framework of marketing or sales activities, but is based on the initiative of individuals who wish to actively share their knowledge and experience.

And when people are given the space to act, organisational culture begins to grow faster than any formal process.
