Now raising — pre-seed

The trust layer for
hiring a lawyer.

Legal work breaks down over one thing: money. LawChain holds client funds in milestone-based escrow and releases them only when work is approved — so clients pay safely and lawyers always get paid.

The $1 trillion trust gap

The #1 reason clients and lawyers clash is money — and nobody has fixed it.

Lawyers want fees upfront. Clients fear paying for work that never arrives. The result is friction, distrust, and disputes that end up in court. LawChain removes the friction entirely.

Without LawChain

  • ✕ Lawyers demand upfront payment — clients feel exposed
  • ✕ Clients delay payment — lawyers do unpaid work
  • ✕ Disputes go to court — slow and expensive
  • ✕ No verifiable proof of work or payment

With LawChain

  • ✓ Funds held in escrow — both sides protected
  • ✓ Milestone releases — pay only for completed work
  • ✓ Professional arbitration — fast, fair, affordable
  • ✓ Every transaction recorded as tamper-proof evidence
How it works

Four steps. Zero payment disputes.

STEP 01

Agree on milestones

Client and lawyer define clear deliverables and amounts before any work begins.

STEP 02

Funds held in escrow

Client deposits payment into secure escrow. The lawyer sees it's funded but can't withdraw.

STEP 03

Work delivered & approved

Lawyer completes a milestone, client approves, and payment releases automatically.

STEP 04

Dispute? Escrow protects

If there's a disagreement, funds freeze and a neutral arbitrator decides fairly.

Why invest

A defensible wedge into a massive, trust-broken market.

Huge, underserved market

Payment trust is the universal pain point in legal services. LawChain attacks it with escrow built specifically for legal work.

A defensible moat

Per-case escrow plus tamper-proof permanent records create a verifiable trust layer and reputation graph competitors can't easily copy.

Two-sided network effects

Lawyers build portable, verifiable reputations; clients get vetted pros and guaranteed protection. Switching costs compound as it scales.

Clean, scalable revenue

A transparent 1% fee on every escrowed transaction with hard fee caps — revenue scales with volume, not headcount.

Trust infrastructure

Milestone escrow, automatic dispute freezing, and permanent records make every engagement auditable and secure by default.

Founder–market fit

Built by a practicing litigator who also engineers the platform — first-hand command of the legal workflow and the technology behind it.

Back the platform fixing legal's trust problem.

We're raising a pre-seed round to scale our verified attorney network, expand escrow capacity, and grow into new jurisdictions.
