Nuvalaw

AT NUVALAW, WE CO_CREATE B2B ECOSYSTEMS THAT PROCESS LEGAL INFORMATION EFFICIENTLY. 

As part of the Metis-MCC network, I met with Lawyers from Equillore who had a refreshing and very exciting view on the future of Legal Services and how it can be made much more efficient, thereby expanding access to justice. 

Although this started out as online Alternative Dispute resolution (ADR) legal processing systems, we soon realised that emerging technologies such as business workflow automation, predictive analysis, Artificial intelligence and Blockchain technologies, combined with Exponential Organisation attributes can rapidly build a global B2B platform to transform industry ecosystems.
We put together a very impressive group of senior executives and partners to start NuvaLaw and are currently focussing on transforming the inter-party processing of vehicle accidents, personal injury and negligence legal claims and dispute settlement.
