Driving the Technology Revolution in the Legal Industry, East Ventures Invests in Hukumku

JAKARTA - Hukumku, an Indonesia-based legal-tech startup that focuses on legal consulting and services, announced the acquisition of funding led by East Ventures on Tuesday, September 12.

Ahead of its planned launch in November 2023, the company said that this funding will be allocated to accelerate product development and marketing efforts.

"Their confidence in Hukumku's vision strengthens our commitment to leveraging technology to make legal services accessible to everyone," said Fritz Hutapea, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hukumku, in a statement received.

Initiated by Fritz Hutapea as Chief Executive Officer, Michael Jagadpramana as Chief Operating Officer, and Glorio Yulianto as Chief Marketing Officer, Hukumku exists because there are still many Indonesians who have limited access to legal services.

"From the lawyers' side, they also face challenges in getting clients because competition is usually based on connections or referrals," explained Fritz.

Hukumku offers innovative solutions to introduce and revolutionize how legal services can be accessed and delivered in Indonesia. This platform aims to connect users with lawyers who have been carefully selected by Hukumku.

Here, you can see important information for users to find a lawyer that fits their needs, including the lawyer's profile, practice license, areas of expertise, location, and user ratings and reviews.

What's more interesting, Hukumku prioritizes transparency by providing information about the prices of legal services to users, ensuring clear expectations for users.

"Our commitment is more than just serving users, Hukumku also focuses on opening up lawyer access to users and leveling the playing field. We are dedicated to increasing transparency, accessibility and affordability in the Indonesian legal industry," added Fritz.

Hukumku will not only present a complete solution for legal needs in society, but also offer educational content and free seminars covering various topics related to legal services and cases that are currently being discussed.

"It is time for the legal industry in Indonesia to experience a technological revolution, and we believe Hukumku can offer legal solutions that are innovative and accessible to all Indonesian people," said Willson Suhu, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures.
