Comment on UpCounsel's Legal Marketplace Finds The Right Lawyer for the Job

Comments

The legal market is certainly open to disruption but one issue sprung to mind when reading the post.

I appreciate that personal vetting is something which you feel necessary to ensure a good service but what about the risk of opening yourself up to legal issues if an attorney you have vetted then provides negligent advice?

I would argue that personal vetting has created a duty of care which would not otherwise be present if you simply relied on the State Bar's database.

I imagine you have thought about this and the risk of the above is outweighed by your desire to ensure a good service but just something that sprung to my mind.
