Jurassic Flow: Surviving Uncertainty Like a Beast
summary
A lawyer left big-firm practice in 2015 and built a legaltech consultancy called NoLegalTech (2016–2024) focused on serving steady clients including a listed retail group. The talk describes dismantling the profitable firm due to burnout and mental cost, gives concrete failures and figures (two unpaid years, a €40,000 buyout offer, employee salary ranges €1,600–€4,000, and a pattern of replacing women with men), and outlines plans to publish open-source contracts and pivot to operations work in Copenhagen.
