Decentralized Law | Democratizing Legal Services with AI & Blockchain

People and organizations around the world struggle to access affordable legal support and effective, low-cost dispute-resolution mechanisms. Decentralized Law (DeLaw) is transforming the legal industry by integrating blockchain and AI into conventional processes and LegalTech solutions

This approach supports the decentralization of the legal ecosystem, introduces smart contracts as a form of immutable data storage, dispersed governance of legal processes and solutions, and uses AI for automated assistance, reducing costs and time while enhancing trust and security. As a result, legal services become more accessible, opening opportunities for individuals and small businesses.

VAIOT, a provider of AI-driven LegalTech platforms, plays a key role in this movement, offering solutions that challenge traditional legal processes. Founded in 2018, VAIOT uses AI and Blockchain technologies to deliver a set of Legal Tech and Decentralized Law solutions with a mission to democratize legal services by introducing innovation through evolution to the legal sector — integrating tech and expertise of legal professionals.

VAIOT’s Ecosystem: Bridging the Gap Between Legal Complexity and Everyday Needs

Legal services often seem like a luxury reserved for big corporations or those with deep pockets. Small business owners, Startups, freelancers, and everyday individuals frequently find themselves in complex situations and unclear guidance provided by generic Google searches or ChatGPT recommendations. Imagine a scenario where a startup founder needs to draft a service agreement but can’t afford the high fees of a law firm. Or consider an online shopper disputing a transaction, facing the prospect of a lengthy and costly resolution process which often proves such action to be ineffective and not worth the hustle.

These are not isolated incidents. The World Justice Project reports that 5.1 billion people — two-thirds of the global population — lack meaningful access to justice. Meanwhile, the e-commerce sector, projected to reach $7 trillion by 2025 (eMarketer, 2022), is grappling with the need for efficient dispute resolution mechanisms.

This is where VAIOT steps in, offering a suite of innovative solutions that make legal services accessible, efficient, and secure for everyone.

A solution the market is asking for

For creating a new service agreement, freelancers and small business owners might think that open-sourced LLMs such as ChatGPT or Claude are the best option for a fast and cost-efficient document. According to Legalis C.H. Beck, 2024, most lawyers think that AI can streamline and shorten work time, but it may also lead to a decrease in the quality of services.

The issue is that AI however impressive, is not 100% accurate, particularly when the model is not trained with appropriate information or filled with generic prompts. In some legislations, AI-generated agreements or online templates have no legal relevance without the appropriate compliance of a trustworthy institution or professional. This leaves us with the question:

Are there alternative solutions that can be equally fast, cost-efficient, and user-friendly?

Yes, they are!

VAIOT is stepping in as a trendsetter in the DeLaw space by creating a comprehensive ecosystem of legal tools that directly address market needs for web3 and web2 users combined.

With VAIOT’s legal domain-specific LLMs, legal documents drafted by top law firms, and authorization of AI outputs by licensed lawyers users receive quality legal support which is cheaper and more accessible than traditional legal services.
