What RechtEasy.at does

RechtEasy.at is an Austrian legal information and lawyer matching portal that positions itself as Austria's largest free legal online portal (Österreichs größtes kostenloses juristisches Onlineportal). The platform serves private individuals, companies, in-house legal departments, government authorities, and law students by combining a content library of 7,500+ legal term explanations and guides across 28+ practice areas with a free three-step lawyer matching service that routes users to specialized regional attorneys. Underlying components include a self-serve web platform built on standard CMS architecture, a manually curated lawyer directory, video podcast content, and an email newsletter.

The business model is freemium and B2B2C: clients access legal information and matching at no cost, while law firms and individual lawyers pay to be featured and to receive referred clients. Publicly visible partners include Austrian firms such as Heid und Partner, GEUER Rechtsanwälte, Dr. Stefan Heninger, Rechtsfabrik, Dr. Sophie Haiden, and ATB.LAW. Distribution is overwhelmingly organic, with 24.8M+ annual Google impressions, 4,000+ unique daily visits, and 1.11M+ annual page views, supplemented by newsletter, social, and podcast channels. Founded in 2012 and operated by a team of 1-10, the company is private, Austrian-domiciled, and serves only the domestic market, with no disclosed revenue, funding, or ownership structure.

Emerging players

• Advocado: German legal tech marketplace providing online legal consultations and lawyer matching. Comparable lawyer-matching value proposition targeting the DACH region with a more digital-first delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• LegalZoom: US online legal services platform offering document preparation, attorney access, and legal information. Comparable in connecting consumers to legal services via digital content, but operates at vastly larger scale and offers transactional legal products.
• Avvo: US legal directory offering lawyer profiles, Q&A, and reviews at scale. Comparable lawyer-discovery and content model but operates at much larger scale and has a broader product portfolio.
• FindLaw: Established US legal information and lawyer directory owned by Thomson Reuters. Overlaps strongly with RechtEasy's legal content + lawyer marketing model, but sits inside a much larger publishing stack.
• juris GmbH: German legal information provider (Otto Schmidt Group) offering statutes, case law, and commentary. Comparable to RechtEasy's legal reference content but as a premium, professional B2B product rather than a consumer portal.

Direct peers

• 123recht.de: German legal information portal with extensive legal guides, forums, and lawyer directories. Directly comparable as a German-language legal content and referral platform in the same category as RechtEasy.
• anwalt.de: Germany's largest lawyer directory and legal information portal, allowing users to search for specialized attorneys and access legal guides. Directly comparable to RechtEasy as a German-language legal marketplace operating in an adjacent DACH jurisdiction.
• Frag-einen-Anwalt.de: Major German legal Q&A portal where users post legal questions answered by registered lawyers. Highly comparable to RechtEasy in combining free legal content with a lawyer acquisition funnel in a German-speaking market.
• JuraForum.de: Long-standing German legal portal offering legal guides, forums, lawyer directories, and law news. Comparable content-and-directory model serving German-speaking consumers, similar to RechtEasy.at in Austria.

Regional players

• Smartlaw: Swiss legal tech platform offering lawyer matching and digital legal services. Comparable in business model and DACH adjacency, but operates under Swiss law and regulation rather than Austrian.
