‘Legal Airbnb’ Spoke becomes one of first UK users of ‘.law’ domain name

updated on 18 May 2016

Lawyer-client matching service Spoke – described as a ‘legal Airbnb’ has become one of the first UK organisations to use the ‘.law’ domain name.

Spoke is a web service which puts clients seeking legal advice in touch with lawyers who have signed up to its directory. As the Law Society Gazette reports, Spoke’s creator, Lawyers On Demand was originally established by commercial firm Berwin Leighton Paisner, which is still the main shareholder even though the former has since become a separate venture.

Spoke will open for business in July using the ‘.law’ domain name at www.spoke.law, with its founders expecting to have signed up at least 500 solicitors and barristers by then. 

Lawyers On Demand co-founder, Simon Harper, said: “Spoke signals another stage in the new law evolution. The big law firm was one way for lawyers to work that grew out of the 20th century. Spoke is about harnessing what the 21st Century has to offer.”
