LawPivot Seeks To Kill (Well, Slash) Startup Lawyer Fees
- egiva 16y agoAn $80 fixed fee for each startup-related law question seems like a great deal if you get somewhat extensive advice - i.e. something more than "come in to my office and we'll talk about it". Also, barriers to entry for this type of idea seem pretty low. Stackoverflow could easily use their existing Q&A framework to enter the legal advice market, minus some sort of document handling? I'm sure there are other existing companies in the Q&A space as well. Maybe it depends if LawPivot does a good job getting extensive (detailed) answers to these questions, rather than superficial answers.
- jvilalta 16y agoI've used SO a lot for technical matters. I would be worried about taking legal advice from them if there's no "responsibility" for bad advice. IANAL but I think that if you take payment for advice you give, then there is a little bit more accountability.
