What if legal tech could help solve law’s biggest problem...its culture?

In Episode 18 of our Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, LegalTechTalk Uncovered 2025 miniseries, I caught up with Aline von Duering — Of Counsel at Bonnard Lawson International Law Firm (Dubai) and President of the SCILL Board at AIJA - International Association of Young Lawyers, the world’s largest young lawyers’ association.

Live from the red mic at LegalTechTalk 2025, Aline shares a message every firm needs to hear: if we don’t start embedding wellbeing, transparency, and collaboration into the fabric of our industry, all the tech in the world won’t save us.

Here’s what we uncovered:

🔴 Why mental health can’t be an afterthought, and how the Agents of Change initiative is leading by example
🔴 How to turn wellbeing awareness into real cultural change
🔴 The one thing most lawyers still feel about tech: overwhelmed
🔴 Why collaboration is law’s most underrated competitive edge
🔴 What clients will demand by 2030: clarity, transparency & trust
🔴 Plus: her biggest aha moment? Data security is finally getting the attention it deserves

💬 “We don’t need more awareness. We need more action. And we’re empowering young lawyers to lead the charge.”

💬 “Tech is powerful — but culture is foundational.”
