Elabogado

elAbogado is a Spanish-language legal marketplace connecting consumers seeking legal help with attorneys across Spain, the US (Hispanic market), and Mexico. Founded 2010 in Barcelona by Martí Manent. The platform reports 800K+ users and 14,000+ registered attorneys, with 214K cases managed in 2023 (self-reported record year). Business model is PPL (pay-per-lead) — lawyers create free profiles, then bid on qualified leads. Two proprietary technologies: LIQS™ (Lead Instant Qualifier System), an ML system scoring lead viability before routing to attorneys, and SLAB™ (Smart Lead Automated Bidding) for automated bid management. An improved LIQS+ version exists. Total funding $1.23M over 3 rounds (latest: $324K seed from Bewater Funds, Dec 2023) — notably bootstrapped for 13+ years with minimal VC. Trustpilot: 4.4/5 (201 reviews, consumer-side only — not from attorneys using the platform). No G2/Capterra presence. Zero Reddit mentions. Listed on Stanford CodeX TechIndex as ‘Marketplace and ALSPs’, Global LegalTech Hub member, and featured in IE Law School legaltech entrepreneurship profile. Primarily serves solo/small-firm attorneys in consumer-facing practice areas (immigration, family, PI, criminal) seeking client acquisition in Spanish-speaking markets. No documented API or CRM integrations — leads delivered via platform, not piped to firm systems. GDPR-compliant (EU-based), designated DPO, but no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certifications documented.
