We've been doing some work on this in FSFE. We have a legal conference in Amsterdam this Friday with about 50 lawyers coming, so that's a milestone in building the network.

IIRC we hit capacity, so I'm not plugging the conference :-) just mentioning that this issue isn't going unaddressed in Europe.

Ask me... well, if I pass the year :D

A word of warning however, if I'm anything to go by, computer engineers who convert to law are
crap lawyers. Your best bet is to use a full service city firm who will have their own
paralegal-run training program for IT disciplines.
