It provides services that make it easier for users to connect with lawyers based on free legal consultations and detailed information about lawyers. It has approximately 8.99 million monthly site visitors and an overwhelming database with about 1.38 million cumulative legal consultations.

Additionally, the service for lawyers includes "Case Law Secretary" and "Legal Revolution."

For the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2025, cumulative revenue was 6,691 million yen, a 35.3% increase year-on-year, EBITDA increased by 19.9% to 919 million yen, and operating profit decreased by 0.9% to 545 million yen. The company-wide ARR was 11,200 million yen (up 38.3% year-on-year), with recurring business steadily increasing. The second quarter saw an increase in revenue centered on Cloud Sign. New acquisitions of paid companies for Cloud Sign were favorable, and trends of upgrades from the free plan to the paid plan are on the rise, surpassing 100 paid companies for Cloud Sign reviews. Although Lawyer Dot Com experienced a decrease in revenue quarter-on-quarter, the cross-selling of Case Law Secretary and Lawyer Dot Com Library seems to be progressing well. Due to pricing revisions for Cloud Sign and Lawyer Dot Com, as well as delays in conference revenue, an acceleration of revenue growth is expected in the latter half. Full-year revenue is planned to increase by 30.2% to 14,740 million yen, EBITDA is expected to rise by 32.5% to 2,500 million yen, and operating profit by 37.5% to 1,700 million yen.

First, the legal industry has undergone significant changes due to judicial system reforms since 2000, including the deregulation of lawyer advertising, the liberalization of lawyer fees, and the implementation of new bar exams. As the number of lawyers has increased, the demand for marketing among lawyers has risen, leading to further customer development. The lawyer fee market has been expanding since 2000 and is expected to continue on an upward trend. With a favorable market environment, the legal domain is promoting collaboration with the Lawyer Dot Com Group, Case Law Secretary, and Legal Revolution, and cross-selling is progressing smoothly to secure stable revenue. Moreover, while the electronic contract market, including Cloud Sign, is spreading among listed companies, not all departments within individual companies are utilizing it, leading to low utilization rates. By increasing the utilization rate within companies, there remains considerable potential for revenue and profit growth, as solid earnings build up from the increase in contract transmission numbers. As growth continues in each business such as Cloud Sign, attention should be paid to the company's future.
