It’s good to be healthy, hearty and untouched by problems. But, that’s an ideal situation which can only be possible in a LaLa Land (pun intended).


Coming back to reality, a society needs proper structure to function. The main building blocks of our society in a democracy are legislative, executive, administrative and press.


Lawyers form an integral part in this equation. Unfortunately, courts have come to acquire skepticism in people’s minds and lawyers are seen as agents of law rather than its custodians.


Lawyered.in is one such online legal services firm, which is on a mission to make every citizen feel legally empowered.


A world where every citizen has a legal advisor. That’s tall order to accomplish and Gauri Bedekar, Co-founder and Creative head, Lawyered.in shares with us her plans to make this a reality.


Lawyered is an online portal where you can choose from a range of lawyers by browsing through their profiles and expertise.  Guess what you can also write a review of your chosen lawyer’s services. This sounds like a clear cut and transparent. Over to Gauri to tell us more about the vision of Lawyered.in.

“Like education, medical services, police enforcement, legal is a building block of the society and it is surprising to see that till date, legal remains an expensive and inaccessible service. I along with my amazing team, work hard to educate people on the importance of law in their day to day life.






We have created a platform where you find lawyers according to your requirement, budget and location. The best part of finding a lawyer through Lawyered is for all appointments booked through the platform, the first consultation meeting is completely free of cost.  

 

I see an opportunity in helping people overcome their legal troubles by making legal solutions – better, easier and faster.

 

I wanted to study biotechnology when I was scouting for colleges, but like every science student, I pursed my engineering in electronics. Half way through I realized, a 9-5 job is not very interesting. After college , I joined a startup called skillhippo.com and developed an interest in graphic design.



While working for startups I got an opportunity to work in every department, be it sales, digital marketing, advertising, design or business development. It was then, when I discovered that I wanted to design. After 2 years of getting trained and working as a designer, I started Lawyered.in.



To be honest, there was a lot expected from me and working on a 10k salary after my engineering was not very acceptable to my parents. It took a while for them to understand entrepreneurship. But, today they are extremely supportive of me leaving my job and going full time with Lawyered.in which as of now is completely bootstrapped!

 

Entrepreneurship comes with a lot a challenges. But these challenges are rewarding in nature. Right from trying to establish a brand, looking for a product that is market-fit and making people believe in your product. To top all these, there is a risk involved when you don’t know the future, and there is always something or somebody who holds you back. The only way to overcome this is persistence and perseverance. It is definitely not easy, but It is definitely worth all the effort.


The most beautiful thing worth fighting for is the fact that one day, your product is going to simplify the lives of a billion people  

 

Although, my childhood ambition was to become a chef. I had always loved feeding people, trying out new recipes. My family and friends loved my cooking and I was responsible for all the birthday cakes! I still make sure I cook one meal for the family in a week.

 

For fun, I like to try out different recipes and cook for my friends and family. I also like to read fiction and my favorites are Ken Follett and Jeffrey Archer.”
