Lucía Suárez at Lexplorers: Curiosity as a driver of legal innovation

In a sector in full transformation, where technology is redefining legal practice every day, Lucía Suárez Arquimbau, lawyer and legaltech consultant at ECIJA, has shared her vision in episode 9 of Derecho Práctico's Lexplorers series, in an interview conducted by Elena Rubio.

At just 23 years old, Lucía has become one of the most promising young voices in the legaltech field. Her academic background - with a Law Degree from IEB and a Master's Degree in Legaltech from UNIR - together with her experience at ECIJA, has allowed her to develop a unique perspective on how innovation can drive the future of law.

Overcoming resistance to change

One of Lucía's most powerful messages is the need to overcome the resistance to change that still persists in the legal sector. For her, technology is not an option, but a day-to-day reality that we must embrace in order to continue evolving and responding to the new demands of society and clients.

Key skills for the new generations

In the interview, Lucía highlights that curiosity is the essential skill for young people entering the world of legal innovation. Alongside this, the ability to understand how technology can impact the sector and the ability to differentiate between new law and tech for law are determining factors in building solid careers adapted to the challenges of the future.

Challenges and opportunities in legal innovation

Lucía also addressed the main obstacles faced by those entering the sector: from the generation gap to the lack of knowledge about the real impact of technology and the creation of unrealistic expectations. However, he stressed that these barriers can be turned into opportunities when faced with openness and with the support of committed teams, such as the one at ECIJA.

Inspiration and experience at ECIJA

Among her references, Lucía mentions her parents, who always instilled in her the importance of technology, as well as her IEB professors, who opened the door to the world of legal innovation from the beginning of her career. About his experience at ECIJA, he says that every day is a different challenge, which allows him to learn and grow in a dynamic and collaborative environment, with pioneering projects such as the real case developed for Repsol.
