The third place was obtained by Lucky Team 1 who proposed an "Uber" for legal services for simple emergency solutions. Their project answers a problem that all of us encounter at some point: the need of an urgent advice from a lawyer, an advice that can get you out oftrouble and prevent long-term hardship. Avocat NonStop (“NonStopLawyer”) creates a permanent link between a lawyer and any individual in need at the distance of a simple phone call. The problem the lawyer can quickly give a useful answer to can be diverse, from being pulled over by the police to not understanding a certain clause from a contract in front of you.Our solution comes in two forms, either through a short phone number to be remembered easily by users, or through a mobile application that connects the user with the appropriate lawyer qualified to give a suitable answer to the said problem. As for the future plans, interactive voice response software(IRV) and machine learning could be implemented to improve the efficiency of the product. LuckyTeam 1 team is made up of two lawyers, AndreaPantiru -Dentons and Mihai Dolhescu - Clifford Chance.
