Remote Legal Aid Exchange (RLAE)

Vision

RLAE expands access to civil legal help by matching clients and community organizations with fractional, jurisdiction aware legal practitioners. The vision is practical justice at scale: timely advice on housing, benefits, family matters, and small business issues delivered through a transparent, ethical exchange. Sponsors enable measurable improvements in stability and economic participation for vulnerable populations.

Problem

Demand far exceeds supply for affordable legal guidance, especially outside major cities. Clients face complex paperwork, strict deadlines, and predatory actors. Nonprofits spend scarce time on triage and document prep. Case files span scans, photos, PDFs, and chat transcripts that are hard to search quickly. Funders often lack clear evidence that interventions consistently reduce risk or accelerate resolution across case types.

Solution

Cosolvent standardizes intake, eligibility, and conflict checks while enabling LLM+RAG over unstructured materials. Clients and advocates upload leases, notices, pay stubs, affidavits, and court PDFs; the system extracts key clauses, deadlines, and risks, answering natural language questions—“what notice period applies here?”—and assembling draft checklists tied to the uploaded sources. ClientSynth creates synthetic caseloads that mirror demand surges (e.g., seasonal evictions), stress testing staffing plans and SLAs so sponsors see credible throughput and equity metrics before scaling funding.

Business Model

Funding can mix government legal-aid budgets, NGO grants, and small business subscriptions for contract review. Transactional revenue applies to discrete services. White label deployments can power municipal or university clinics. Sponsors receive transparent dashboards on resolution times, issue categories, and risk reduction, supporting sustained investment.
