How Legal Legends Aims To Disrupt The World Of Legal Services
How Legal Legends Aims To Disrupt The World Of Legal Services. Kyle Torrington and Andrew Taylor are no strangers to blowing stuff up and disrupting the archaic world of legal services, having launched and run LexNove™ in July 2015 which latter became Legal Legends. LexNove, was featured in Fast Company Magazine as one of the 25 most innovative companies of 2015, no small feat considering the awesomeness of the growing startup ecosystem in Mzansi.
Over time, and based on user demands, the offering of LexNove naturally morphed into what has become Legal Legends. Being trained legal professionals themselves in Jozi–’the Big Law mecca of Africa’– the founders became familiar with the way things have always been done in the corporate legal world. Think bogus expenses that include partner bonuses and equity splits, intellectual property “Kickers”, customised stationery, prime (rented) real estate in high rise Sandton buildings and gourmet coffee and biscuits that are in never-ending supply.
While they miss the Moccachino’s, the Frappacino’s and the biscuits (especially since they’re now living on Frisco to fund this venture), they realised that these, and many other inefficiencies, were ultimately affecting the people that made the industry turn – the clients. By employing hordes of under-paid garden gnomes, harnessing its passion for tech entrepreneurship and changing the way it engages with clients in order to better understand their needs, the founders have been able to bring its clients Legal Legends, Africa’s first e-Commerce website for legal services.
Legal Legends gives its clients access to a wide range of legal services, at fixed prices – the way legal services should be provided- whilst making sure the quality of the services delivered are of the highest standard and provided at a price that is understandable and carefully aligned to the value that the company is adding to its clients’ precious business or life.
