At LegalTechTalk 2026, Redmond Lee met with Eli Bernstein and Rafael Levine to explore an area of legal tech that's often overlooked.

While many legal tech companies are focused on serving law firms, Eli and Raf are taking a different path, building solutions for consumers, freelancers and small businesses.

From AI-assisted contract creation to integrated escrow and low-cost dispute resolution, they're tackling a problem many people face every day:

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀?

💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

↳ Legal tech has an opportunity far beyond traditional law firms.

↳ Better contracts at the start can prevent costly disputes later.

↳ AI should simplify legal processes, while human expertise remains available when it's needed.

↳ The biggest opportunities often exist in underserved markets, not the most crowded ones.

One insight stood out:

"𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹."

As legal technology continues to evolve, innovation isn't just about helping lawyers work faster.

Sometimes, it's about making legal protection accessible to the people who need it most.
