Legal Advice Middle East operates as an online legal services marketplace, positioning itself as a technology company rather than a traditional law firm. Founded in 2015 by Suzanna Kalendzhian, a lawyer who identified a gap in the market, the platform was created to connect consumers with legal professionals across the Middle East. After working as a lawyer in Dubai, Kalendzhian noticed the potential for innovation in how legal services were accessed and delivered, especially in a region with a large expatriate population. This insight led her to create a platform that simplifies the process of finding and communicating with lawyers.

The company's primary function is to serve as a conduit between individuals and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) needing legal assistance and registered law firms in the region. It operates in the legal technology sector, focusing specifically on the Middle East, a market valued at over $10 billion with more than 15,000 law firms. The business model is centered on providing a platform for lawyers and law firms to generate leads and promote their services online. Revenue is generated through subscription fees from participating lawyers and as an e-commerce platform for selling fixed-fee legal services.

The platform offers a range of services for consumers, many of which are free. These include a directory of lawyers searchable by location and expertise, a Q&A section for initial legal questions, live chat, and callback requests. For more in-depth needs, users can purchase fixed-fee services such as advice sessions on employment, real estate, or business setup, as well as document drafting and review. A key feature is the multilingual support and the anonymity it offers to consumers seeking initial advice. For legal professionals, the platform provides a promotional tool and an e-commerce infrastructure to sell their services directly to clients. The company has received seed funding from TURN8 and an Innovating Justice Award from The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL).
