Oratto's mission is to connect consumers with the right lawyer for their needs and thus to generate work for lawyers in which they are highly competent.

Free to use for the consumer, the Oratto website is packed with useful information, legal articles and up-to-date points of law, accompanied on each page by related lawyer profiles. These comprehensive bios allow users to choose a particular solicitor whom they feel suits their needs.

Rather than contacting a random law firm and being allocated a solicitor, the user is given a greater degree of control about the legal professional they approach. Oratto takes the mystery out of engaging a solicitor as the profiles are given a rating and offer clear, well organised information, as well as being easily available. The platform also offers a great degree of search flexibility - for instance the user can stipulate a certain practice area as well as being able to search by distance from their postcode.

All member lawyers must adhere to the Oratto Member Lawyer Code and pay fees to be included on the website. The code aims to ensure that clients are always put first and that member lawyers will exhibit integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership, alongside good communication and responsiveness.

Above all, Oratto is about providing a straightforward route to specialist solicitors. So, anyone who wishes to engage a lawyer can make a properly informed choic
