Unfortunately, there are practically no solutions like Linkedin for other industries.
Today professional social networks are gradually replacing the usual job board websites. This problem also applies to the legal industry. LinkedIn, although it can be used to find specialists and vacancies in any business niche, is the most popular among representatives of the IT industry.
That is why we decided to create a startup that would bring together all proven lawyers in one place, helping those who need them find their contacts and relevant legal information.
Client/Target audience
The target audience of the product is trusted lawyers from Baltic states. At the moment, it has gained the greatest popularity in Estonia. But the target audience of the product will soon scale.

Our approach
We decided to build a blog-like website based on React. In order to implement this service, we have selected the following tools:
Django
This is a Python-based framework for developing web applications with which we created the backend
React JS
This is a JS library for creating user interfaces, we used it for frontend development
Redux
Redux is an open-source JavaScript library for managing and centralizing the application state. It is most commonly used with libraries such as React or Angular for building user interfaces.
Testing
We paid special attention to testing the usability of the solution so that its interface has a minimal learning curve.
