Research & Development Hub

Create+65 is our first global innovation lab – a strategic space that unites our lawyers, our clients and the wider legal community. Our purpose is to discover the future of legal services through research, education and collaboration.

Create+65 helps clients understand what digital innovation can mean to them and what is required to effectively embrace it. Our team is supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board – and, together, we are working to shape the legal services model of tomorrow so that our clients can benefit today.

Clifford Chance Partner, Kai Schneider, Singapore, explains: "Create+65 builds on an ongoing commitment to contribute to an ecosystem of client collaboration and innovation as we anticipate the increasing pace of change."

The ultimate aim for Create+65? To help our clients prepare and adapt to the future through a process of exploration and innovation.
