Kula

There’s reports suggesting that, following the relative instability and high caseload of recent years, more Big Law practitioners than ever are eyeing up the chance to go independent. Kula’s bet is that by providing them the tools to do so more competitively, they can tempt lawyers out into what may well prove to be a growing and lucrative market.

Kula claim to offer a more sophisticated matching service for lawyers and clients than competitors like Legal Services Link and Lawyers on Demand, one that draws on ‘personal fit’ and availability as well as skillsets. Matching services across the board, from social networks to funding sources, are developing in the direction of making smarter and more granular recommendations - so in this sense, Kula is getting out ahead of the pack.
