MyAdvo: Making Legal Simple

An Attempt to Simplify Legal Services for Laymen

Finding the right lawyer to represent your case could be one of the most daunting tasks of your life. Given the general scenario of our country, the majority of the population suffer from an acute dearth of information on the legal sector; on how proceedings are carried out, whom to approach for a piece of legal advice etc. The situation thus allows an easy manipulation of laymen, primarily in terms of the expense associated with hiring an attorney.

To mitigate this information gap, make this process more transparent, and enable common people to easily discover lawyers without having to search for one in random nooks and crannies, MyAdvo came into being.

Founded by two IIT Roorkee alumni in September 2015, Rishabh Gupta & Kushal Bhagat, MyAdvo is an online platform that helps individuals, startups, SMEs and corporates connect to lawyers best suiting their requirements, based on area of specialization, location, budget & other parameters. Users can also seek free legal advice from specialist lawyers by posting their query on the platform.

Genesis

The idea came from personal experiences. Rishabh’s family faced an extremely grave legal situation back in 2008, and had to speak to multiple family, friends and lawyers but couldn’t find a suitable lawyer for a long time. Kushal too faced similar situations in professional life when he had to struggle finding subject matter expert lawyers. That’s when the duo realized that the legal market is extremely opaque with little to no information available on lawyers, their specializations, fee structures etc., and the seeds of MyAdvo were sown: a legal tech company that enables users to find the ‘right’ lawyer by providing relevant, curated and timely information on lawyers and law firms, helping users to make more educated decision.

Key Pain Points that MyAdvo Attempts at Resolving

Lawyer Discovery: In the current legal ecosystem, it is nearly impossible to judge which lawyer is suited to a particular legal situation.Owing to this, people run to friends & family, get stuck with the wrong lawyers; have to change lawyers midway and as a result, the court cases keep dragging on forever. Situations become worse for foreign manufacturers/industrial houses & NRIs looking to find lawyers practicing in India. The startup wants to bridge this gap, starting off by helping people connect to the ‘right’ lawyers.

Case Management & Preparation: In the very near future, the startup would also offer case preparation and management solutions to lawyers & clients which it believes, will help drastically reduce the time and costs spent in a typical court trial in India.
