Looking ahead, the next few years will bring a “huge shift” in how legal services are delivered in Australia, Mr Woolrych argued.

“Insurance, accounting and financial services have already moved online in a significant way, while online legal services have been adopted in the US, as illustrated by LegalZoom’s success,” he continued.

“Our market leadership and additional funding demonstrate that LawPath is ideally positioned to drive Australians to embrace online legal services as well.”

LegalZoom’s investment sees them join existing LawPath investors including LexisNexis, Murdoch Ventures, Temple & Webster, SiteMinder, and Adcock Private Equity.
