Abstract
Abstract This chapter investigates the general theory of legal design within a law and economics framework, emphasizing its role as a strategic tool for corporate performance and sustainability. Legal design integrates user-centered methodologies with interdisciplinary innovation to enhance the clarity, accessibility, and efficiency of legal products, services, and processes. Positioned at the intersection of law, management, and economics, legal design provides firms with a competitive advantage by reducing transaction costs, managing risks, and fostering economic sustainability. The analysis demonstrates how legal design mitigates knowledge asymmetry, enhances stakeholder trust, and promotes business sustainability through its focus on comprehensibility and transparency. Comprehension is explored as a legal quality metric, reinforcing efficiency and enabling firms to improve organizational processes while aligning with market demands. The chapter applies microeconomic principles and game theory to highlight the strategic alignment of legal design with profit-maximizing and sustainability goals. Beyond the corporate sphere, legal design has broader societal implications, including enhancing access to justice, reducing legal complexity, and fostering systemic trust in regulatory frameworks. By addressing legal and economic challenges through innovative approaches, legal design bridges theoretical insights with practical applications, offering pathways for organizations to integrate sustainable governance practices. This work underscores the transformative potential of legal design as a strategic asset in Law & Management, advocating for its adoption to drive organizational resilience, competitive positioning, and broader societal impact.
