Shreya Sharma started ‘Rest The Case’ in 2021, a legal aggregator platform that provides a list of 1,200 specialised lawyers across 200 cities in India. It also provides basic legal templates like rent agreements and explains legal terms that everyone should know.
When Shreya Sharma, a 25-year-old lawyer from Pune, met a woman in her fifties who was facing a property dispute, she realised that there was no one to advise her. The woman was clueless about which lawyer to approach, what the procedure would entail, and this only added to her worries.
There are many Indians who face similar legal conundrums, as legal literacy remains poor. Recognising this gap, and to enable access to the right legal information, Shreya started ‘Rest The Case’, a legal aggregator platform in Pune.
She found her calling when she was working on a project which involved interviewing lawyers as a student at Cardiff University. She searched for legal information online, and found many credible websites offering this, along with a list of lawyers.
