NewLaw.ro, the digital platform for collaboration with lawyers, covers now Bucharest, Ilfov, Timișoara, Oradea, Craiova, Cluj and Constanța, Mureș and Brașov

Launched at the beginning of 2023, by a team of experienced lawyers, NewLaw.ro is the first digital platform for collaboration with a lawyer and, at the same time, one of the few digital legal entrepreneurship projects in Romania. The financial investment in the creation and launch of the NewLaw.ro platform amounted to 50,000 euros and now, less than 6 months from its launch, the platform covers main areas of the country such as Bucharest, Ilfov, Timișoara, Oradea, Craiova, Cluj and Constanța, Mureș and Brașov.

The NewLaw.ro platform, developed and implemented by lawyer Bogdan Ilie and his colleagues from the NDI Law team, lawyers with over 15 years of experience in advocacy and legal services, aims to streamline the client-lawyer relationship by facilitating remote collaboration.

"Currently, 21 lawyers are active in the platform, with whose help we cover Bucharest and Ilfov, Timișoara, Oradea, Craiova, Cluj and Constanța, Mureș and Brașov. In Bucharest we provide expertise in all areas of specialization, while in the other cities we have lawyers specialized in business law, labor law, criminal and commercial law. By the end of the year, we aim to list around 80-100 lawyers on the platform, covering the whole country" - says Bogdan Ilie(in opening picture), lawyer and co-founder of NewLaw.ro.

The platform supports Romanians and not only, who need various legal services provided by lawyers regardless of location. The platform includes lawyers specialized in all types of legal services including Public Procurement, Labor Law, Family Law, Administrative Law or Fiscal Law and Criminal Business Law and is a support for the entire collaboration with them, from the exchange of offers and contracts, to the administration of documents for a trial.

In Romania, the practice of law has strong traditionalist influences, but we believe that the time has come for a paradigm shift. Technology penetrates the practice of law progressively, still needing both time for adaptation, but also to confirm the value contribution it has in everyday activity -also says Bogdan Ilie.

The NewLaw.ro platform respects the principles of the New Law philosophy of democratizing the legal profession and aims to simplify the lawyer-client relationship using digital resources adapted to the present. The platform is a secure collaboration environment that keeps the history of interactions, documentation, versions of documents and everything that both the client and the lawyer need to know about a legal case.

We have already registered several dozen requests from customers, who have exposed various situations. Some of these were implemented by signing legal assistance contracts. The requests were diverse, from requests regarding the provision of consultancy in the current activity of a commercial company, to situations related to insurance law or real estate law -Bogdan Ilie also comments.
