The new capital will be used to drive product innovation, expand technology infrastructure, enhance brand visibility, and strengthen nationwide distribution. Lawyered currently supports over 600,000 vehicles and 800 businesses, leveraging a network of 70,000+ lawyers. The platform has resolved more than 200,000 legal matters, saving customers over ₹50 crore in penalties and downtime.

Looking ahead, Lawyered plans to expand into finance, real estate, healthcare, and other sectors, aiming to build the rails of India’s legal infrastructure and make legal services preventive, proactive, and widely accessible.
