Valla raises $2.7M to make legal recourse more accessible to employees | TechCrunch
Briefly

Danae Shell founded Valla to make legal support more accessible for workers facing daunting legal challenges. Launched in 2022, it focuses on employment law and has helped over 12,000 workers initiate claims and negotiate settlements. Valla's platform allows users to collect evidence, generate legal documents, and receive coaching from legal experts. The integration of AI streamlines processes, functioning as a legal secretary to manage case logistics. Recently, Valla secured £2 million in seed funding to further its mission.
One doesn't need to look far to notice that for many people, seeking legal recourse feels so daunting and complex that many just don't try to.
The basic thesis of Valla was, 'If we can build tools that let someone file their tax return from their mobile phone, surely we can build something that can help them manage their own legal issue.'
Valla platform enables users to collect their own evidence, generate documents, and then talk to legal experts who 'coach' them through what the legal process would be for each stage of their case.
The GenAI engine in our platform acts as a legal secretary in the background.
