The Ultimate Guide on How to Build Legal Products

Turning legal services into legal products can be done by creating document automation workflows and legal apps, and by structuring new revenue models.  To build legal products, you'll want to think strategically about the process of scoping, building, and launching your legal products.  We created this series on "productizing legal services" to educate you on what we and our clients have found to be most successful.  We cover everything from defining your initial audience, to legal startup software to help you build, to marketing and monetizing your legal applications.
