To offer their users selective information acquisition is one of the major challenges for legal databases. Even against the backdrop of developments within web search, relevancy sorting has established itself as one of the most popular but at the same time most complex and controversial measure in the field. In this speech, the core thesis of the speaker’s dissertation is being elucidated, namely that subject-specific relevancy sorting should be used by legal databases to successfully serving their users information requirements in the future.

Major gaps may exist between the legal representation of an agreement («the paper deal») and the goals and intentions of its negotiators («the real deal»). This paper outlines contracting pitfalls and proposes new approaches to the use of visualisation to overcome them. We categorise contract visualisation and introduce comics and visual interfaces for deal-making as examples of two new categories. These approaches open new possibilities for the future for both theory and practice. They also contribute to next generation deal design as a way to narrow the gaps between the real deal and the paper deal, turning contracts into user-friendly communication tools that reflect the true will of the parties.

Financial regulation and investment products have become more and more complex. Information disclosures tend to be off-puttingly long and densely texted documents. Investor behavior studies indicate that investors often skip and skim information – and even worse, sometimes they do not read it at all. Investors’ abilities to comprehend and use financial information give no reason to cheer, either. Fortunately, we have tools to overcome complexity. Building on our previous work where we have applied simplification and visualization to improve the communication of contracts, this paper explores the use of these approaches to financial communication.
