Online legal services Law without a lawyer, for standard forms and simple filings Registering a company, writing a simple will, filing a trademark: much legal work follows standard forms and needs no lawyer. People and small businesses used to pay a lawyer to fill in those forms anyway. Now they can do much of it online. Companies, too, have legal work that needs no lawyer, such as teaching their staff the rules they must follow.

This Market Segment covers two kinds of business.

Legal help online. Online legal services sell standard legal documents and filings to people and small businesses, at a fixed price. Law firms usually charge by the hour. These services charge a set fee for each job, or a subscription. In many countries, only a licensed lawyer may give legal advice. Anyone else who does is said to be practising law without a licence. So these services sell the documents and filings themselves, and connect customers to a lawyer when they need advice.

Compliance training. Companies must train their employees in the rules they have to follow, such as rules against bribery, harassment and misuse of data. In India, for example, the law on sexual harassment at the workplace requires employers to run awareness programmes for their staff. Companies buy this training as online courses. The software also keeps a record of who finished which course, because regulators and courts may ask for proof. The buyers are companies' compliance and HR teams.

One company here works for employers instead:

LRNwith engineers in Mumbai, sells the ethics and compliance training that companies give their employees. (More on LRN in Market Segment 4.14, Governance, risk and compliance (GRC), in Industry Vertical 4, Cybersecurity.) The legal answer for everyone.

Most people never see a lawyer about their legal problems, because it costs too much. AI models can now explain a dispute with a landlord, draft a legal notice or fill in a form. How far AI may go before it counts as practising law is a question regulators in India and elsewhere have not settled.

That is law without a lawyer: standard legal work sold online at a fixed price, and compliance training that companies give their staff.
