Lawyered is a legal-tech discovery platform, which was a part of India Accelerator’s Summer 2018 cohort. Lawyered helps companies, startups, business owners and individuals connect to a legal professional matching their requirements through their platform. It also helps legal professionals in their online and offline outreach enabling them to attain more clients. The company says it doesn’t take service charges or commission.

The angel investors include Pramendra Tomar, Group General Counsel at Apollo International Limited, Ratish Pandey, ex-General Manager at Bose Corporation, Munish Bhatia, ex-CSC and GM at IAC and Sumit Aggarwal, owner of Rainbows.

Said Himanshu Gupta, Founder and CEO of Lawyered: “The key area which Lawyered is transforming is how businesses find lawyers. With ever-increasing population of internet users, consumer demand through the internet is driving big changes in the way we find lawyers. The erstwhile methods like personal connections or word-of-mouth aren’t long-lasting or scalable. This is where Lawyered adds value to its customers.”
