Junior Lawyer was born from a personal struggle that opened our founder's eyes to a broken system.
When Animesh Kumar's father got entangled in a bogus legal case, Animesh—an engineer by profession with years of experience in SaaS companies—witnessed firsthand the frustrating reality of India's legal system. He watched as lawyers handled everything manually, moving at a painfully slow pace. Court proceedings dragged on. Documents were misplaced. Communication was sporadic. Every step felt unnecessarily complicated.
As someone who had spent years building software that automated complex business processes, Animesh couldn't help but see the obvious solution: technology. The entire legal ecosystem—from court administration to lawyer workflows—was running completely offline. If modern tech were infused into this system, he calculated that overall efficiency could increase by 30% to 40%. From judges to lawyers, everything was stuck in the analog age.
That's when Animesh teamed up with Ayush Chandra, Rahul Bhatia, and Chandan Singh—fellow technologists who shared his frustration with the status quo and his vision for a better future. Together, they founded Junior Lawyer with a clear mission: to bring the legal profession into the digital age with AI- powered tools that actually work.
We spent months talking to lawyers, studying legal workflows, and understanding the unique challenges of the Indian legal system. We're not just building software—we're building a movement to transform how legal work gets done in India. We're starting with document analysis and case management, but our vision is to digitize and automate every aspect of legal work that technology can improve.
This isn't just business for us. It's personal. We've seen the human cost of an inefficient legal system. We're building Junior Lawyer to make sure no one else has to go through what our families went through.
