Online Lawyer Matching web based portal

Hello Expert Members, 

I have total of 10 + years of wok experience working with IT/ITES companies in Business development, Project Transition and operations roles and fortune 15 companies in the roles of Business Research and Consulting. Worked for few startups as the first employee and enjoyed my entrepreneur learning.  

I am working on an idea of creating online Lawyer matching portal to solve customer problems around going through the pain of finding the right lawyer for them. I am looking for your advice and opinion.     

Customer Pain Points:

  1. No mechanism to evaluate lawyer specialization and his credentials  
  2. No mechanism to understand which lawyer is better than other
  3. Customer cannot find lawyer which specialize in what you need across your city within India
  4. Reliance on friends, family, relatives to choose lawyer which most of times turn out to be bad decision by then you burn time, money

The demand from customers comes in many forms; any individual person can be user of multiple legal services. He is using on his company behalf, on behalf of his residential association, personal matters, property matters etc.  The demand opens up from many fronts like Indian citizen and NRI who have investments in India or would like to invest and need legal support.

Business model:

  1. Subscription based services to lawyers/customers
  2. Online consultation for customers at a fee
  3. Sell Legal information products online for customers
  4. Affiliate program
  5. Online advertising revenues

Would like to get your expert views to validate the potential of this idea ? Please revert.

Thank you all in advance. 

Regards,

Gaurav
