quo·d and Design Rights have combined complementary expertise to build Italy’s Legal Design hub, backed by real impact and years of experience. A multidisciplinary team that brings together strategic design, legal consulting, visual communication and technology to design solutions that are clear, accessible and business-oriented.
We help organizations make legal and regulatory content clearer, more accessible and more strategic. We apply design thinking, legal linguistics and visual communication to turn documents and policies into tools for understanding, trust and adoption.
Beyond design, we train company teams to integrate Legal Design into their own processes, creating learning and experimentation paths based on real cases. An approach that turns legal language into an experience that is understandable, effective and measurable, combining technical rigor with communicative value.

Legal design is a discipline that uses specific tools and techniques to design legal content products that are immediately usable by their audience from a communication standpoint.
The foundations of legal design are rooted in the need to make the law more accessible, understandable and empowering for everyone. By focusing on users’ needs, promoting transparency and embracing diversity, legal design contributes to a fairer, more inclusive legal and regulatory system. Legal design is, in fact, a methodology that serves to promote:
Clear, well-organized communication free of unnecessary jargon ensures that people understand their rights, their responsibilities and the implications of rules and laws, enabling them to make informed decisions.
Taking into account the different needs of various groups of people, including those with disabilities, low literacy levels or limited language proficiency. Designing legal solutions that are accessible to everyone fosters a more inclusive, non-discriminatory society.
Legal Design is defined by its ability to put the end user at the center. The entire architecture of the message is built around them. Designing, in this sense, means asking:
Putting ourselves in users’ shoes.
Tools: primary and secondary research, workshops, interviews or surveys with users.
Defining the document’s goals, information priorities and user needs.
Tools: workshops, stakeholder interviews, market analysis, benchmarking.
Simplifying technical language.
Tools: workshops, plain language, ISO 24495 Standard.
Organizing and representing information consistently with the context of use.
Tools: workshops, wireframing, prototyping.
Five areas of work through which we apply Legal Design to different contexts: from contracts to compliance, from legal briefs to team training. Click on each one to discover deliverables, objectives and format.
A service focused on reviewing and redesigning corporate contracts and policies to increase their clarity, readability and reputational value. We apply legal design and plain language principles to make documents easier for people to understand and more effective for the business, without compromising their legal soundness.
A 6–10 week project involving workshops with stakeholders, legal review cycles and testing with internal or external users. The service can be activated on a single pilot document or across a portfolio of contracts and policies.
A service dedicated to redesigning privacy notices and compliance documents for customers and internal users. We work on structure, language and visual design to make regulatory content more accessible, searchable and consistent with the overall digital experience.
A 4–8 week journey starting from one or more priority notices. Includes analysis of existing documents, co-design with Legal, DPO, UX and Marketing, prototyping and validation with real users or internal panels.
A service for designing legal briefs and procedural documents with high argumentative impact. We use legal design, interaction design and visual storytelling tools to help law firms and in-house legal teams build briefs that are more readable, navigable and memorable for the decision-makers involved.
An intensive project on a single case or cluster of cases, typically lasting 6–12 weeks. The process includes interviews with lawyers and judges, co-design sessions, rapid prototyping cycles and validation phases, up to delivery of the digital file ready for use in court.
A service focused on designing policies for the use of AI systems and digital tools within companies. We translate legal, security and governance requirements into clear, operational documents that help people understand what to do — and what to avoid — in their everyday use of these technologies.
A 5–9 week engagement, including an assessment of existing policies, co-creation workshops with Legal, IT and HR, production of materials, and support for the first internal communication campaign.
Training and co-creation paths that help legal, compliance, design and communication teams understand and apply Legal Design in their everyday practice. Each program combines theoretical modules, hands-on lab sessions and projects on real company cases, generating concrete skills and measurable results.
A hybrid path (in-person / remote) with an integrated legal + design + business faculty. Each module alternates theoretical introduction sessions, hands-on exercises and co-design on company materials. Dedicated versions are available for Corporate Training, Law Firm Training and Cross-Team Lab.
