On October 10, 2022, in the second episode of Focus #Legaltech, our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu, as host, welcomed Cem Şanap, founder of Legaling.
The central thesis of the episode was clear: legaltech products in Turkey do not scale when they are designed on paper without understanding the lawyer-user’s real workflow; Legaling is an example of a product strategy centered on user research and the lawyer–client interaction.
The Legaling story
Cem Şanap walked through Legaling’s founding story, the problem it solves, and the information/coordination asymmetry between lawyer and client; he laid out the micro-decisions where the product creates value.
Legaltech product strategy in Turkey
