Three problems kept turning up, on both sides.
None of them are exotic. They are the ordinary friction of finding counsel and of keeping track of the people who get in touch — and they are what the product is shaped around.
Finding counsel is guesswork
Most people arrive through a friend of a friend, with no way to see who handles their kind of matter, in their own city, in a language they are comfortable using.
The first call is hardest
People reach out in the middle of something stressful, with little sense of what a matter costs or of where a conversation like this is meant to begin.
Inquiries scatter and stall
Work arrives by call, email, WhatsApp and web form. Without one inbox, follow-ups slip, notes end up in four places, and matters that were ready to move never do.
Discovery, contact, conversation — and nothing in between.
There is no consultation booking and no escrow. You find the lawyer, you reach them on the channel they chose, and the two of you take it from there.
- 1
Start from an area or a place
Filter by practice area, location, language and availability until the list is people who actually take your kind of work.
- 2
Read enough to judge fit
Each profile carries practice areas, the matters within them, experience, languages and the rate the lawyer lists.
- 3
Reach out directly
Use whichever contact option the lawyer chose to show. Nothing sits between you — no booking desk, no escrow.
- 4
Talk it through
Take the conversation at your own pace, and decide in your own time whether it is the right fit.
Four commitments, stated plainly enough to be held to them.
Aaine does not vet anyone's credentials, and nothing on the site says otherwise. What a profile does is put the details on the record and name the body that can confirm them.
A record,
not a rating
Practice areas, experience and registration appear as the lawyer states them, for you to confirm with the bar.
Contact on
their terms
Phone, email, WhatsApp or an Aaine message — each lawyer sets which options appear on their profile.
Placement is
never sold
Paid plans unlock workflow tools in the dashboard. They do not buy a higher position in the directory.
No cost
for clients
Browsing and contacting costs nothing, and Aaine takes no share of the fee you agree with a lawyer.
