Our team member will directly contact multiple legal professional and make sure that the query is answered. We will help in discovery, scheduling of meeting and carrying out the payment to streamline end to end process.

2. Ability for developers and young entrepreneurs to post their query
3. This shall we notified to all legal professionals and can answer the query, If no one has answered the query. Our team will personally contact the legal professionals and make sure that they respond to the query.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

Expanding developer/entrepreneurial community is one of the biggest aim of Cardano ecosystem.

More developers and entrepreneur's might join the Cardano ecosystem, if the community support beyond the technical use cases and provide support on their legal queries and provide legal connection. Developers know how to develop, and entrepreneurs know how to build business but a legal support could help them boost their confidence.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Risk: Legal personal registered is not fully committed

Mitigation: We will be utilizing the legal professional working with us (India) to answer the queries if any query is un attended.

Risk: Members doesnt want to put a public post

Mitigation: We also plan to have an option to post as anonymous person.
