Why we built Legal Setu
Legal help in India has always been reserved for those who can afford it. A 15-minute consultation with a lawyer can cost ₹2,000–₹5,000. A rent agreement drafted by a lawyer can cost ₹3,000. For millions of Indians facing everyday legal problems — a landlord refusing to return a deposit, an employer not paying salary, a defective product being denied refund — the cost of getting proper legal guidance is more than the problem itself.
So most people either pay lawyers they can't afford, or go without help and suffer the consequences.
Legal Setu exists to close this gap. By combining AI that understands Indian law with a network of qualified advocates, we make it possible for anyone to understand their rights, generate real legal documents, and speak with a real lawyer — at a fraction of the cost.
What we do
Legal Setu is three things in one:
1. A free AI legal assistant. Ask any legal question in your language — Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali, and more — and get clear, accurate guidance based on Indian law. No jargon, no appointments, no fees.
2. A document generator. Generate court-ready rent agreements, cheque bounce notices, employment contracts, and more. Answer a few questions and get a professionally formatted document in minutes — for ₹250, not ₹3,000.
3. A lawyer consultation service. When your matter needs a real lawyer, we'll match you with a qualified advocate within hours. They'll call you on WhatsApp, already briefed on your case — so you spend the call solving your problem, not explaining it.
What we believe
Who we are
Legal Setu is built by a small team based in Delhi, obsessed with making legal help work for people who've historically been priced out of it. We combine technology, legal expertise, and a deep belief that justice shouldn't depend on income.
Where we're going
We're just getting started. Our goal is to be the first place every Indian turns to when something goes wrong — a landlord dispute, a workplace issue, a consumer complaint, a family matter. Not the last resort, but the first stop.
If you share this mission — as a user, a lawyer, or a teammate — we'd love to hear from you.
