In every organization, there are moments whose significance can only be seen in hindsight — seemingly ordinary situations, short conversations by the desk, exchanges between meetings, or jokes during a company trip. At LBKP, one such moment was the May integration trip, when — before the first coffee — several people had the same thought: there is huge potential in our teams that goes beyond daily responsibilities, and it is worth creating a space where this potential can fully shine.
This is how the LBKP Ambassador Programme #TechnoLegals was born. Not from a decision to initiate “another project,” nor from a formal initiative, but from a series of small impulses, conversations, glances, and intuitions that over time began to form a coherent story of collaboration and development.
It’s hard to say that the programme was born out of need — rather, it came from the conviction that organizational culture is not created in documents, but in relationships and moments when one person shares an idea, someone else develops it, and a third person asks: “What if we do this together?”
How did It Actually Start?
The first weeks were like building something that everyone felt before they could even name it. I remember one conversation — short, held between meetings — in which one of the ambassadors said: “This is about creating space for things that have been in the air for a long time.” And indeed, before the programme took on formal structure, it was the energy that naturally built up.
Ideas came faster than we could write them down. Some proposed webinars, others integration initiatives, and still others — a series of materials on law and technology. At one point, the calendar began to fill up so quickly that we realized the programme existed, even if we hadn’t officially announced it yet.
The First Actions — the Moment We Realized Tt Was Working
One of the first experiences that showed the scale of this project was working on materials for one of the webinars. The plan was for a brief working meeting — a quick arrangement of the structure. However, a spontaneous discussion turned into an hour of intensive conceptual work. Each person brought something unique: a different perspective, experience, idea, or practice example.
When the meeting ended, no one talked about “creating an agenda.” Instead, there was a sense that something rare had happened: the moment when a group of specialists started functioning as a team — not burdened by hierarchy, but full of initiative.
That was when it became clear that the #TechnoLegals Ambassador Programme would be a space for development where people begin to do things they hadn’t had time, courage, or framework for before.
Why Does This Programme Work?
Many of our clients and partners say that LBKP “has an atmosphere that is not typical for a law firm.” There is a lot of truth in this: for years, we have focused on collaboration, modernity, and a culture in which expert knowledge merges with a human perspective.
The Ambassador Programme is a natural extension of this approach. It doesn’t function within rigid frameworks — it lives through the people who co-create it.
Ambassadors Are Diverse, Yet Complement Each Other Wonderfully:
some lead webinars, others create educational materials, still others develop visual and digital activities, while others bring teams together, proposing initiatives that integrate the Wrocław and Warsaw offices. The programme resembles a well-functioning organism — it develops in rhythm with ideas, work, conversations, and diversity, which is one of LBKP’s greatest strengths.

This makes LBKP not just a workplace.
It’s a place where you want to be.
