We have seen technological innovation changing the course of business around the world. Technology has also changed the course of the legal industry. Could you please let us know how technology has changed the way MyAdvo does its business?
MyAdvo has been a technology focused company since its very inception.

Discussing all that our brilliant, dedicated and farsighted tech-team is doing, might need a few more interviews to cover!
Do you think that the legal industry, at present, is way behind in utilizing the technology which is there for us?
If you ask me, the kind of potential that exists in the legal industry – technology has only just arrived! With mounds of unorganized data, millions of users, defined systems in place – the Legal Industry is a major potential market for technology to integrate, facilitate and revolutionize.
What are the areas (in the legal industry) where you think technology might help if implemented properly?
Technology can assist everyone in the Legal Industry! From individuals filing cases, seeking justice to corporates dealing with hundreds of fresh cases every month to lawyers struggling to maintain their calendars and remember case updates to judges sitting amongst piles of files and documents – technology can assist all!
What is your take on the eCourt Service in India? Is it really helpful?
According to me, the eCourt system shall effectively solve delay issues with courts in India and assist with quick and effective resolution of matters which otherwise remain pending cause delays, backlogs and hassles to the system as well as the victim.
In what terms specifically, should the present technology (which is already implemented in the Courts) be upgraded in order to reduce the pendency of cases?
Quicker case filings (which have been introduced already), e-stamps, FIR filing, effective eCourts, automated case updates, better accessibility to the data to common man, etc. should be a few relevant developments required to assist in dealing with pending cases.
Talking about the event, what are your expected outputs form the Legal Tech Fair 2017.
With the Legal Tech Fair, 2017 we wish to establish the advent of technology in Law. Legal Tech has remained almost foreign in India. Most significant developments that have taken place in the Legal Tech space have seeped in from other countries. Through this event, Law Pundits and MyAdvo brings together all like-minded people under a roof to discuss the developments that have already happened as well as the probable and required developments. The Legal Tech Fair shall act as a vision to the future – for the futuristic minds of the country!
How do you see the future legal industry to be 10 years down the line?
Having worked at an unconventional company like MyAdvo, I can now assertively and confidently say the legal Industry is in great hands! Companies like Law Pundits are bringing legal education closer to home, while companies like MyAdvo are ensuring legal services are rendered seamlessly and effectively and – Simply!
