Ritesh Kotak, Ayushi Dave and Ryan Mosoff joined forces at the university's Legal Innovation Hackathon event in March to address an issue in Canadian law and created jusTech to alleviate the stress of small businesses as they grapple with the impacts of the pandemic and educate them on privacy.
Dave says, "It can cost up to $15,000 for a small business or law firm to do what our workflow does, and a failure to report can cost up to $100,000. And so we thought that was completely unfair, especially considering small businesses have been hit the most during COVID."
"We are moving into a new era of law where you can use technology to bolster your practice and also help people and keep costs low and so, we're trying to innovate in this field we're joining and share that experience with other lawyers and legal professionals to improve access to justice and keep costs low," Mosoff says.
JusTech's objective is to establish a "one stop shop" for privacy matters. In addition, Kotak says they are working on creating a referral network that connects individuals to lawyers, tech experts or cybersecurity professionals based on the situation.
Victims of ransomware or stolen data can connect with individuals who can help potentially recover data, remove the ransomware and a lawyer to look over documents that have been auto generated.
