It’s hard to find a lawyer, and it’s equally hard for lawyers to find new clients. Pieter Gunst decided to help address this conundrum by founding legal matching and identity service Legal.io, whose mission is to make legal help universally accessible. Today more than 1,000 lawyers use Legal.io to find new clients and to refer business. Legal.io also powers lawyer referral networks for non-profit legal services organizations. It’s committed to helping anyone who needs legal assistance by using legal networks to streamline legal service delivery and measure results. Pieter also serves as an Entrepreneurial Fellow at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics (CodeX), where he organizes Code = Law (a coding course for law students).
