Description
Talking Tree was founded by a tech attorney who, after moving from a Fortune 100 company to a midsized public one, saw how even well-resourced legal teams struggled with the cost of commercial legaltech tools. If they couldn’t afford it, how could a scrappy startup? So, we built an alternative. With a team of engineers, NLP researchers, and legal experts, Talking Tree now offers affordable, nonprofit-built tools at true operational cost.
Our Work:
- AI Legal Assistant for contract drafting and review.
- Template Library with lawyer-vetted business docs.
- Plain-English Legal Guides anyone can understand.
- Volunteer Clinics (in development) for hands-on help.
Impact:
- 10,000+ users served
- $250K+ in legal fees saved
- Growing partnerships with accelerators & nonprofits
