The Opportunity

Problem

Solution

LegalPeerTogo combines simple case tracking with a built-in forum where local lawyers share tips and quick video trainings on using the platform. Low-literacy users learn from peers via searchable French threads and live Q&A. Business owners join to ask questions directly, fostering a supportive ecosystem.
