Dominic Woolrych, the CEO of Lawpath, is hoping to make the Australian legal platform the ubiquitous destination for small businesses seeking legal help as legaltech moves into what he sees as its second phase.

Just as small businesses are used to doing their accounting online, Woolrych expects they will also grow more comfortable with seeking legal services via the internet.

"Where we want to be in five years' time is just like what Xero or Intuit has done to accounting, where if you're a small business they've become synonymous with doing your accounting," Woolrych said. "We want to be that for law."
