Otta's take

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Despite the law being there to protect people, many do not have access to the help they need due to the cost and complexity associated with the legal process. This is what Rocket Lawyer is setting out to change, striving to make the law affordable and simple for everyone.

With financial backing and technical support from GV and its other partners, Rocket Lawyer has developed a cloud-based platform connecting millions of people with the legal help they need, at a fraction of the traditional cost. Using simple Q&A interviews and forms, as well as live consultations with attorneys on their mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers, small business owners, self-employed individuals and consumers can now manage a wide variety of legal situations with relative ease.

Funding has allowed Rocket Lawyer to scale its platform, focusing on the digital tools they provide to customers, and allowing the company to meet the growing demand for the provision of online legal advisory services. It continues to launch new features to its product repertoire, such as Rocket Tax™, an affordable way for people to file taxes with a professional.

Company values

  • We're a team on a mission - We support, train, and cheer for each other while being committed to chasing our mission to make the law affordable and simple
  • We are customer focused, value obsessed - Understanding the people who use our products always comes first. All value starts with effectively and ethically delivering value to them
  • We're thinkers - We foster a curious and intelligent culture—one that encourages everyone to think both creatively and critically
  • We communicate as if lives depend on it - Frequent, transparent, communication is the most essential ingredient for us to successfully complete our mission. Without communication, productive teamwork is impossible
  • We own it - Everything must be owned. Everything that we build, sell or deploy has to be owned by someone on our team. No orphans can be left alone, so take the initiative to commit and own it
  • We deliberate, decide, and deliver - We deliberate, decide, and deliver. Open, public, and respectful conversation from diverse teammates is critical to arriving at the right decision—it takes courage, but it’s healthy. Once the decision is made, we execute as a team to deliver what was decided
  • We are all doers - Everyone is an individual contributor. Some of us are also leaders. In this setting, the best way to lead is by example. The fast track to success is about showing ambition—be a great contributor who also helps others grow
  • We can recognise failure, retreat, and overcome - Periodically question whether resources would be better allocated someplace else if the mission at hand isn't delivering value. The most courageous and valuable action can be cutting immediate losses in order to preserve resources for the next fight
  • We celebrate! - We are a culture of positivity. Celebrate wins! Product releases, closings, sales, and customer success stories. Celebrate hitting milestones & targets. Celebrate birthdays, holidays, and each other
  • We know ourselves - This one belongs to you. It’s your unique strand of our DNA
