The Banzu Way

Legal Banzu is a social collaboration platform that enables a life-coaching team approach to address a person’s legal problem in a holistic manner.

• There is a wealth of agencies and groups attempting to address the symptoms, but not enough collaboration across the board to address a client’s need in a holistic manner.
• Legal Banzu aims to be a social collaboration platform where a person facing a legal issue may enlist a team of advisers to coach him/her not only with the immediate legal problem, but also to exam his/her current life situation, marshal resources and community support to plot a better trajectory towards a more trouble-free and fulling life.
• For example, an immigrant seeking legal aid for immigration issue often requires a lot more help than just dealing with the immigration agencies.  She may need job training, affordable housing, healthcare assistance, and childcare assistance.  An immigration clinic may only be equipped to help with her immigration problem, but solving her immigration problem without addressing her other needs won’t really help her to achieve her full potential and is likely to set her on a path where she will need more other assistance down the road.
• Similarly, a person facing bankruptcy is going to need a lot more than a bankruptcy legal assistance to rebuilt his/her life.
• With Legal Banzu, the same person may receive the attention of other advisers at the same time.  Quarterbacked by the legal adviser, a life-coaching team may be assembled online to help the person plot a better course in life.
