Whether it’s getting legal advice, or hiring the services of a trained lawyer, at different point in time, the need for legal services would always arise.
With technology, this process has been made easy, as several startups have been launched in Nigeria, to allow people access legal services from the comfort of their homes.
LawStrive is one of the few providing this service.
Launched in November 2016 by Samuel Olabamiji, LawStive is an online platform providing Nigerians with access to legal services.
The platform brings 3 major services together – LawStrive Advice, LawStrive Spotlight and LawStrive Hire – to achieve its vision of becoming the answer board for all legal matters that affects citizens.
The advice feature allows users to get Instant Legal Advice from qualified lawyers, and also browse answers tailored to each legal category. For LawStrive Spotlight, users can get access to news, events and happenings in the legal sector.
The third feature, LawStrive Hire allows users to post a job and get qualified lawyers, who in turn send a proposal and their cost, giving users the ability to make comparison.
Although, LawStrive’s idea is laudable, it still has a number of competitors to deal with, including LawPadi and DIYLaw, that offer similar service.
