The document discusses creating an online marketplace to connect consumers needing legal services with local lawyers. This would aggregate small legal providers onto a single platform, making services more accessible and affordable by reducing client acquisition costs. Consumers would fill out a questionnaire, get personalized price quotes from lawyers, then compare options and hire attorneys. The marketplace aims to solve issues on both sides by providing consumers with personalized, affordable options, while efficiently generating qualified leads for lawyers.
