With the increasing pressure on the courts, expecting speedy legal solutions in consumer-centric matters has become a fry cry. Of late, people are taking to Twitter and other online spaces to make their voices heard to the company.
Shaurya Krishna, a 5th year student from National University for Study and Research in law (NUSRl), captured on this trend and conceptualized ‘Being Your lawyer’(BYl) aimed towards resolving such complaints, either by going to the respective authorities or simply by settling the matter out of court.
Additionally, they have a website, ‘beingyourlawyer.com’, where people can explore the wide range of services they offer against a nominal fee. Services like resolution to real estate disputes, solving consumer complaints are one of the many services that are offered. Started in January 2018, they have received positive feedbacks and successfully opened a centre near Birsa Agricultural University.
The founder of BYl, Shaurya Krishna remarked, “This initiative was started with a vision to provide seamless resolution to consumer complaints. We started tapping such complains on Twitter and directed the aggrieved to our website. Till now, BYl has successfully resolved more than 50 complaints in three months with disputed amount of more than Rs 10l and complaints of real estate properties amounting more than Rs 4 CR are still pending and are being consulted at BYl.”
Shaurya is accompanied by Prakarsh Tiwari, a 4th year NUSRl student from Kanpur who is also the co-founder of this unique start-up.
The objective of BYl is to deliver speedy legal aid to the needy and make the relationship between the lawyers and clients as smooth as possible, where the fuss like consultation fee will be taken care of by BYl. From free legal queries to locating lawyers, this start-up works towards lessening the work of the ignorant clients.
The website is comprehensive, detailing all the facilities the start-up provides. To save time and money of the people, the duo seeks to provide a directory of the best lawyers across the country along with their ratings.
There is also a query form, where people can fill in their grievances and submit to the website for their perusal and revert. Speaking in this initiative, Founder – BYl, Shaurya Krishna said, “We do a thorough research through the lens of business and economics, understanding what is the best solution that can be offered and then we guide both the parties towards a mutual path.”
Co-Founder Prakarsh describes BYl as a professionally dedicated organisation which immaculately works towards providing hassle free legal solution with a click. “This trend of lawyer referral services is very novel in the existing scenario.
Hence, there is a tremendous potential for growth in this untapped market. We are committed to deliver and guarantee 100 per cent client satisfaction,” Prakarsh added.
The management plans to expand this service and open another office in New Delhi, in the near future, so that more and more people can avail the benefits of this service can make their experience of grievance redressal more pleasing and satisfying.
