Case Study: Designing the New Legal builds an authentic legal community with Mighty Networks

This community of legal professionals is showing how anti-racism and technology can change the legal system for good

Designing the New Legal is a paid community for legal professionals focused on anti-racism, technology, and well-being. The founders wanted to move beyond occasional in-person events and create a more consistent way for members to stay connected, have hard conversations, and build relationships across the legal industry, while also moving off Facebook for better control.

Using Mighty Networks, Designing the New Legal built a community-centered online space with recurring sessions, masterminds, happy hours, coworking, and access to coaching programs. Mighty Networks helped them support a more sustainable recurring-revenue model, engage members around the world, and keep the experience organized without relying on an algorithm-driven feed, though no specific numeric impact was shared.
