Legal Giant Orrick Invests in Social Network Legal Onramp
Founded in May 2005, Legal OnRamp provides content, connectivity and execution services to help in-house lawyers to get free legal counsel from outside firms. The hope for the advise givers is that inside counsel would appreciate their help and hire them. Its chief feature is an ask the expert section that is wiki based. Borrowing from LinkedIn's networking function, bio pages include a "connection list" of lawyers' colleagues within and outside their firm.
About 100 law firms have created accounts and have contributed and about 50 companies have used it. That's not much but they are big companies like Cisco and Chevron. Legal OnRamp hasn't started charging anybody for access to the site yet but if it attains critical mass it expects to create a listing fee.
Legal OnRamp raised funding from Orick as well as lawyers who made angel contributions. Cisco took a hand in building Legal OnRamp as well.
