Otta's take on Legl
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
The legal industry is becoming increasingly dependent on technology, such as through analytical tools being used to pore through documents, and automation systems converting physical documents into digital content. Legl wants to transform the industry, bringing technology to its heart. The company's platform contains new tools for law firms to use, including improved systems for online payments, compliance, raising awareness around legal issues, and helping consumers have a better experience of the law.
Legl is not alone in this field: other SaaS companies, such as LawOn, are similarly aiming to streamline the legal process. However, legal tech is still in its infancy so there's definitely room for multiple players.
The biggest challenge facing Legl will be getting firms on side, especially the large firms that dominate most of the spend in the space. The legal industry is notoriously slow moving, so uptake might be slow initially. However, if Legl can fulfil its ambitions to help law firms grow and succeed in a digital-first world, there is no reason why it shouldn't see great success in the future.
