Advocado

Advocado is a German legal technology platform connecting individuals and businesses with qualified lawyers across a wide range of practice areas. The platform’s model is built around making legal advice accessible, transparent, and affordable — disrupting the traditional law firm model through digital matching, standardised pricing, and clear service descriptions.

Users submit their legal question online, are matched with a specialist attorney, and receive an initial assessment within a defined timeframe. Fixed-fee initial consultations remove the unpredictability of traditional legal billing, and the platform covers over 15 areas of law including employment, tenancy, contract, family, and business law.

For expats in Germany, Advocado provides access to English-speaking lawyers across multiple legal specialisations — addressing one of the most common expat frustrations: finding a qualified German lawyer who can advise in English without having to spend hours researching on bar association directories.

The platform also allows users to rate and review their legal experience, creating quality accountability for participating attorneys. For expats who need to resolve a specific legal question quickly — whether a dispute with a landlord, an employment issue, or a contract review — Advocado offers an efficient and cost-controlled route to qualified legal advice.
