Win the associate who types, not only the partner who signs.

A founder has built a tool that tracks court dates and drafts hearing notices for litigation firms. A senior advocate tries it for a week and says the juniors will not type into it. The tool may be good. The pitch reached the senior partner, though the person who has to use it is an associate on a phone.

In one paragraph

A LegalTech startup builds software for lawyers, law firms, company secretaries or in-house legal teams, or sells legal services online to individuals and small firms. Its buyers are careful, sceptical and bound by professional rules. GullySales builds the introduction, the demonstration and the follow-up, and records which firm moved from trial to paid use.

A law firm changes its tools carefully, and a confidentiality worry or one missed hearing date can end a product's chances with that firm. Sales here is mostly proof: a lawyer who has used it, a clear answer on where documents are stored, and a trial that fits into real work.

How buyers decide

How LegalTech startups are chosen.

In a law firm, the managing partner or a senior associate hears about a tool from a peer, then asks the junior who maintains the diary or the clerk who does the filing. They ask where the data sits, who can see client documents and what happens if the tool is down on the morning of a hearing.

For in-house teams, the General Counsel decides with the CIO or procurement, and a vendor questionnaire comes next. For individuals and small businesses buying online legal services, such as company registration or agreement drafting, price, a visible human reviewer and reviews decide. Advocates are bound by Bar Council rules on advertising and solicitation, which differ from ordinary business marketing, so any outreach to a lawyer's own clients on their behalf needs their adviser's view.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for LegalTech startups.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “The partner liked the demo and the associates did not adopt it”

    We sold to the person who signs, not the person who types. After the trial, no one asked why usage stopped.

  • “Lawyers ask where their client documents go”

    Our security page is a paragraph of general words. A cautious firm wants to know the hosting location and who can access files.

  • “Our online legal service gets enquiries and few paid orders”

    Visitors ask about the price on WhatsApp, get a PDF, and disappear.

  • “Content from us is either too basic or risks sounding like legal advice”

    The marketing team cannot tell where explaining ends and advising begins.

  • “We cannot find the right firms”

    A list of every advocate in a city is useless. We need litigation, corporate or IP teams of a certain size.

  • “Trials go quiet after the first login”

    Nobody guides the first week, and the account goes unused.

What we do

What we do for LegalTech startups.

Everything included for LegalTech startups.

  1. A data and confidentiality page a lawyer will read

    Where files are stored, who can open them, how access is removed when a person leaves the firm and what happens to data when a customer ends the contract. Your own counsel signs it off.

  2. A first-week routine for trials

    A guided first session with the associate or clerk, a checklist of three tasks to try and a call when usage drops.

  3. A target list by practice area and firm size

    Litigation, corporate, IP or in-house teams in the cities where you sell, with the person who owns tools named where it can be found.

  4. Explainers that stay on the right side of advice

    Plain-language pieces on how a process works, such as a trademark objection reply, reviewed by a lawyer before publication.

  5. An order path for online legal services

    Pages with scope, price band and what a human reviews, plus WhatsApp follow-up for enquiries that stall.

How the result is measured

  • Trials started against trials used in week two
  • Paid firms by practice area
  • Demonstrations held with the user present
  • Referrals from CAs and company secretaries
  • Online orders against enquiries
  • Reasons recorded for lost trials

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Every service, written for LegalTech startups

Each has its own page: what it involves for LegalTech startups, what you get, and what it is measured on.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own

Choosing litigation, corporate or compliance buyers · Associate and clerk adoption in the first week · Data location, access and confidentiality page · Demonstration on the firm's own documents · Advocate-safe content that explains and does not advise · Referral from company secretaries and CAs · Online service price and scope pages · Conversion of trials to paid use

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what LegalTech startups most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Litigation firm pilot in one court city

    Pick one city, such as Pune or Hyderabad, and offer a limited pilot to a handful of firms with a clear task and a review call.

  • Company secretary and CA referral round

    Meet the professionals who advise startups and MSMEs on compliance and agree what they send you, within what their own professional rules allow.

  • Compliance season push

    Before filing deadlines and annual return dates, reach the companies that scramble with search ads and email.

  • In-house counsel round table

    A small invitation-only session on one topic, such as contract backlog, hosted with a bar association or a founder community.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of LegalTech startups, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Litigation and corporate law firms

    We list firms by practice, city and size, then work out who maintains the diary or draws up contracts.

  • General Counsel and compliance heads

    In-house teams at growing companies, approached by role and with a note on a real contract or compliance problem.

  • Company secretaries and CAs

    Professionals who advise startups and small companies and are asked which tool to use.

  • Bar associations and legal communities

    District and high court bar bodies and legal-tech groups, approached through members rather than a broad promotion.

  • Startup lawyers and incubators

    Early-stage companies need agreements and registrations, and an incubator's programme manager knows which of its startups are at that point. We prepare a short pack for the programme manager to pass on.

Who it is for

This is written for these LegalTech startups.

  • Case and practice management software startups for litigation firms
  • Contract drafting, review and clause-library startups

  • Online legal service platforms for company registration, notices and agreements

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

How the work runs for LegalTech startups

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Brief and buyer check

    We read your brief and speak to people who actually tried the product, whether or not they bought.

  2. 2

    Find where adoption fails

    Trace trials from signup to week two and record who stopped, who they were and why.

  3. 3

    Write for the sceptic

    Data page, explainers, order pages and a demonstration script, each reviewed by your legal adviser.

  4. 4

    Open conversations

    Targeted outreach to named firms and in-house teams, plus referral meetings.

  5. 5

    Read and adjust

    Compare trials started, adopted and paid by segment, then focus on the segment that stayed.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions LegalTech startups ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can you advertise for a law firm or an advocate?
Advocates face limits under Bar Council rules, which change and differ from ordinary business. If your customer is a lawyer, we market the software to them, and they decide for themselves how to advertise. Check with your own counsel.
Will you write legal content for our blog?
We write explainers on how a process works, in plain words. A lawyer you name reviews each piece, and we do not present it as advice for a case.
Why do lawyers not adopt our tool even after liking it?
The person who pays and the person who types are different people. The first-week routine is written for the one who types.
Do you handle outreach to General Counsel?
Yes. We build a short list, write a note around a real problem and follow up by phone, with you present for the technical questions.
Can we name a law firm customer on our website?
Only with the firm's written consent, so ask when the contract is drawn up and agree the exact wording. A firm may have its own rules on how it is described, and rules for advocates differ, so check with your own counsel.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and we tell you which applies to you after we have spoken. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
To start, last month's enquiries in any format and time with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM.
