ClearwayLaw has bridged the gap between individuals and lawyers with technology innovation at its core. Founded by Alistair Vigier, ClearwayLaw is reshaping the way people navigate the complex legal system in Canada and the United States.

A Journey of Innovation

Addressing the “Access to Justice” Problem

ClearwayLaw’s mission revolves around tackling the accessibility problem prevalent in various legal systems. While cost is often cited as a barrier, Alistair described how the problem ran deeper. With a large number of individuals entering the legal system without legal representation, ClearwayLaw aims to provide them with information. By offering details into legal options and service providers, ClearwayLaw aims to improve access to legal services.

Innovative Solutions

Central to ClearwayLaw’s solutions is a platform that collects information from various sources such as LinkedIn, law firm bios, and legal databases. With 500+ reviews left for lawyers every month, 200,000 people using the website each month, and the use of algorithms, ClearwayLaw provides users with all the information they need to make their own informed legal decisions, catering to various needs and budgets.

The platform is constantly evolving, with plans to incorporate AI features that streamline the lawyer-client matchmaking process. The companies first product is called “Clearway Time,” and it will make the consultation booking process much more smooth for law firms. Lawyers will no longer need to waste half their day in consultations with people that would never retain them. Further, the software will make it much easier for law firms to track and receive referrals to other lawyers.

ClearwayLaw will also soon go live with a “know your client” SaaS product for law firms, which will use AI to scan the internet and find red flags about potential clients prior to the consultation being booked.

ClearwayLaw also plans to go live with other AI enhanced legal SaaS products in the next few years.

The Audience

The company’s future SaaS product targets larger law firms, offering pre-consultation software that helps save time in the client intake processes. ClearwayLaw uses their marketplace to promote their SaaS products. The marketplace is mostly non-monetized, and is part of giving back to the community.

Challenges and Opportunities

Building ClearwayLaw hasn’t been without its obstacles, particularly in terms of funding and managing market expectations. Alistair acknowledges the financial challenges present in scaling a marketplace business. It can easily require $5 million dollars to build a property marketplace. However, with a clear vision and a focus on innovation, ClearwayLaw is ready to capitalize on the vast opportunities presented by its first SaaS product.

He highlights the value of strategic partnerships in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship, urging aspiring founders to find their own unique advantage.
