FAQ

Welcome fellow Pioneer!

If you’re reading this, it means you are a true explorer and embody the eternal search for justice and wisdom with an open mind without prejudice.

What is a Legalpioneer?

The law impacts society in different ways. There are many companies and communities that directly or indirectly use technology to keep society fair and safe. Traditionally, this was the job of legal and tax professionals who used technology to manage their practice or research laws (LegalTech, Tax). Then came marketplaces to decentralize and democratize the task of solving conflicts (Law).

Now more companies build tools to comply with the law (RiskTech) and to support citizens in exercising their rights and obligations (CivicTech). For example, you can find tools that manage contracts or report abuse.

On April 20, 2021 we released Legalpioneer GRC with 2000+ additional companies supporting Governance, Risk, and Compliance across the globe. 

This enables you to find solutions for Fraud Detection, KYC, Biometrics, Privacy, Law Enforcement as well as protection against Reputation, Counterfeit and Intellectual Property theft. 

Should be handy for Compliance Officers, Data Protection Officers, General Counsel, Consultants & Students.

Our mission is to automatically collect and showcase the pioneers that support a safe society.

Development

Getting to launch we had to make some trade-offs. The launch was the first milestone on our roadmap and we plan to add features. Below lists some of the key decisions we had to make:

  • Google Maps vs OpenStreetMap
  • Locations vs Addresses

Dark mode design

Here are four reasons why we only design our digital products in dark mode:

  1. Up to 23.5% less energy consumption by devices
  2. Prevent from printing, saves trees
  3. Less eye strain
  4. Looks cool
