LegalTech firms are companies that have deployed technology to better fulfil legal services within the legislative framework in which they operate. Technology can be deployed for many purposes, from automated document study, virtual contract deployments, and perform many labour oriented functions quickly with a high degree of accuracy.

The company was founded in 2017 by law graduate one of the country’s top TV Station anchors and entrepreneur Rieke Caroline. The platform provides access to reliable, straightforward and affordable legal services to business firms varying from MSMEs to Corporate entities. As a modern LegalTech startup, Kontrak Hukum changes the way businesses approach legal tasks by providing them with a credible virtual platform.

The partnership provides services like legal drafting, company registration, IP rights registration and many other supporting tasks that can help content creators become more stable and independent.
