The competition was just the law firm down the street. But the advent of technology has brought significant change for legal professionals. Today, everything is available at the tap of a button. Lawyers are not only competing with other law firms but also with a plethora of legal advice\/forms available on the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With increasing pressure to address the current and future business challenges, there is a dire need to confront a complex and ever-changing regulatory landscape. This can be done by starting an online legal consultation platform where lawyers can consider articulating their value, such as their unique experience, insight, and expertise in mainstream management consultancy, risk advisory, tax management consulting, intellectual property, litigation, and more. In this blog, we have covered:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Table of Contents<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#landscape\">The Online Legal Consultation Landscape &#8211; Defined<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#monetization-opportunities\">Monetization Opportunities for An Online Legal Consultation Platform<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#invest\">Why Invest in An Online Legal Consultation Platform?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#leading\">Leading Online Legal Consultation Services Platforms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#online-lawyer-consultation\">An Online Lawyer Consultation Platform &#8211; How to Get Started?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#features\">Pivotal Features to Have In An Online Legal Consultation Platform<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#help\">How Can FATbit Technologies Help?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"tb-scroll\" href=\"#conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"landscape\">\u201cAccess to Justice\u201d Redefined &#8211; Online Legal Consultation Platforms<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An online legal consultation platform enables users to effortlessly find a good lawyer who matches their requisites for consultation. Such a platform can help users browse for professionals based on parameters such as budget, type of legal proceeding, time, and more. It caters to 3 primary audiences:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients (end-user)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal Consultant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admin<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform can also be used to select a particular lawyer and schedule a consultation with them. Based on the lawyer\u2019s availability, the users can choose a date and time for consultation. There is also a central figure (the admin) who can manage the entire website\/platform and also has the flexibility to implement large-scale processes efficiently and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workflow of an Online Legal Consultation Platform<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a conventional legal consultation system, the invested hours took precedence over user satisfaction and retention. There was a one-sided approach as what is best for the client was decided by the legal consultant or the law firm. The amount of time required left the client with little to no room for better or less expensive options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with globalization and digitalization, clients can now choose a legal consultant based on the area of specialization, hourly budget and more. This has aided the clients in gaining better control over their legal needs. In this section, we explain the workflow of an online legal consultation platform based on the user types.\u00a0 Also, a separate interface for all (user types) is designed to maximize the user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform.png\" alt=\"online legal consultation platform\" width=\"800\" height=\"740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform.png 800w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform-300x278.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform-768x710.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform-624x577.png 624w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/online-legal-consultation-platform-500x463.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>End User Workflow &#8211; Clients <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients sign up by entering their details.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After signing in, the clients explore the platform and search for legal consultants using parameters such as specialty, fees, location, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then clients choose a legal consultant as per the availability, book a consultation, and make the payment\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the legal consultant\u2019s availability, the client receives the consultation via secure digital channels such as chat, video or audio calls that are encrypted.

This was primarily due to the steep price point. However, online legal consultation platforms can help legal consultants to offer their services at competitive rates as law firms do not need to be a middleman. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes the legal services a whole lot more affordable but the question remains if the services available are at cost-effective rates, then how does an online legal consultation platform earn money? In this section, we understand the monetization opportunities in an online legal consultation platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31735\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform.png\" alt=\"Monetization Opportunities in an Online Legal Consultation Platform\" width=\"800\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform.png 800w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform-624x289.png 624w, https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/fab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Monetization-Opportunities-in-an-Online-Legal-Consultation-Platform-500x231.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commission Based on Bookings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a traditional method to generate revenue from an online legal consultation platform as it acts as an intermediary between clients and legal consultants. Based on the number of bookings the admin can enjoy lucrative revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Membership<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform owner can charge a certain amount of membership fees from both lawyers and clients. The fees can either be charged monthly, half-yearly, or annually. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advertisements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the most popular monetization strategies in which the platform owners can earn money by displaying advertisements or commercials for related services and products on the consultation platform. In return, the admin can charge a specific amount of money for displaying these ads and commercials. If the advertisers want to appear in prominent sections\/areas of a website\/platform then an additional amount can be charged. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsored Listings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another popular monetization technique where a few independent lawyers can opt for sponsored listings, i.e. they can pay a specific amount of money to get highlighted on the website or appear at the top of the search results for a certain period. This boosts visibility and most lawyers are willing to pay for these listings. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta_box\">\n<div class=\"cta_title\">\n<h2>Looking to take a more client-oriented approach towards virtual legal consultation?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta_button\"><a class=\"button customBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fatbit.com\/website-design-company\/requestaquote.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Talk to Experts<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"invest\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Invest in An Online Legal Consultation Platform?<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The Legal Services Industry is Booming<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online lawyer consultation platforms are a part of a fast-growing industry and globalization is the most important factor in determining the legal service market\u2019s prospects.
