"Australian legal tech start-up, Legaler, which helps lawyers to securely communicate and collaborate online is to launch its own cryptocurrency via an Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The company is also launching a new legal aid charity platform, supported by the $35m ICO, which will operate as a blockchain-based Decentralised Autonomous Organisation, or DAO."

The DAO planned by Legaler, among other things, connects donors, legal aid groups, clients, law schools and others to distribute pro bono and fee generating cases in an efficient, fair, and secure ecosystem."
