Shape legal workflows. During your studies.
The centre for legal tech at Austria's leading business university.
The WU Legal Tech Center was founded in 2021 at the Vienna University of Economics and Business as an interdisciplinary centre at the intersection of law, technology and digitalisation. It examines how digitalisation affects the work of lawyers, the lives of citizens, and the democratic rule of law. Academic leadership rests with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Claudia Wutscher and Mag. Sophie Martinetz.
The core of the teaching programme is the School of Legal Tech with the Legal Tech Certificate Program, a certificate programme for students in the Master's programme in Business Law. In twelve sessions per semester, students work with IT experts, lawyers, start-up founders and practitioners on the fundamentals of legal tech: from artificial intelligence and process automation to no-code platforms. Participation is free of charge.
From a professional idea to a reviewable workflow.
Students shape a concrete use case and examine inputs, rules and results in context.
Students in WU's Legal Tech Certificate Program work with UNOY on regulatory workflows. They turn professional requirements into steps and examine how usable results emerge.
Lawyers work with complex rules and high demands on traceability. Access to digital ways of working should therefore start during their studies.

Participation in the Certificate Program
When students experience during their studies what a regulatory workflow can achieve, they ask different questions in their careers. That changes not only their work, it changes the firm.
Legal Tech Certificate Program, 12 sessions, one certificate.
The Legal Tech Certificate Program is aimed at students in the Master's programme in Business Law at WU Vienna. In twelve sessions per semester, students work together with practitioners, IT experts, lawyers and legal tech founders on the fundamentals of digital legal work. Topics range from artificial intelligence and process automation, through the digitalisation of law firms, to the practical use of no-code platforms.
UNOY is embedded in the programme at the point where it concerns the transition from concept to implementation. Students take a concrete area of law, define review rules and decision logic, and build a working workflow from them. They discover that the challenge lies not in the technology, but in the clarity of thinking: which question is checked first? What information is needed for that? What happens when the answer is unclear?
For students completing the Master's programme in Business Law, the Certificate Program also counts as a specialist seminar. Those who attend at least ten of the twelve sessions receive the certificate.
Get to know digital ways of working.
Practical work with UNOY connects legal requirements with designing and controlling workflows. This builds experience for later careers.
That is why we support teaching at the university: knowledge of structured expert work should be taught early.
The collaboration with WU is a contribution to education.
Shape, test and reflect.
A traceable workflow needs clear requirements and suitable test cases. Students learn to align professional decisions with technical execution.
The hardest step is often not the technology but translating expertise into rules. Anyone designing a workflow for a contract review has to put their knowledge into a different form.
Students ask different questions than practitioners: Why does it have to be this way? Could it work differently? These questions help to review assumptions.
Technical Deep Dive: How UNOY is used in teaching

No-code workflow designer
Students model regulatory review processes visually, without programming skills. The subject-matter logic comes from their studies.
Review logic and decision rules
Students define review questions, evaluation criteria and decision paths, and experience how precisely one must think in order for a workflow to function.
Sandbox environment
Each student group works in its own isolated area. Test data and workflows are separated from the production environment.
Iterative testing
Workflows are tested with test cases, adjusted and improved. Students learn that a workflow is never perfect on the first attempt.
Production-grade platform
Students work with the same platform that runs in live operation at law firms and companies, not a simplified teaching tool.
Audit trail and traceability
Every workflow step is logged. Students learn from the outset why traceability is decisive in regulated environments.
Presentation and reflection
At the end of the semester, students present their workflows, not only the technology, but also the design decisions and lessons learned.
