About Us
Vidma Consultancy group (VCG) is a Tech enabled legal and business consultancy firm. The Legal field has been reluctant to adopt technology at a substantial level. Most of the law firms perform services grounded in the archaic process. It is the client who pays for the inefficiency, which explains the high-handed manner of functioning of most of the established law firms. We combine legal skills with technology to provide optimized services, thereby ensuring that our clients do not end paying the price for the legal industry's inefficiency.
Our team consists of professionals with vast experience in the different realm of law. The knowledge that the professionals have behind their back enables them to resolve the knottiest legal predicament that you may find yourself in.
We come up with answers to complex legal problems that are related to the evolving sphere of law. For instance, data privacy, IPR, and other dynamic laws often require detailed study to come up with an all-inclusive solution. And to solve issues embedded in advancing statutes requires us to comprehend the law, not as it is but what it will be. Therefore, assuring that our clients face the future that is fluid with confidence.
Why Us?
Our venture is built on the principle is smart law as a appose to big law. With emerging changes in legal services, our procured, rendered and executed smart law is the need of the hour.
We understand that outsourcing or relying on an external team to manage legal functions poses to be a matter of concern for some decision makers, but our business model ensures that, once the processes are streamlined and technology implemented, the client can always bring the process back to the organization.
We innovate and implement intelligent use of technology to arrive at the full circle of projects. Our aim is to see our clients running the legalities successfully.
