Disrupting Personal Injury Law With Purpose, Tech and Innovation (Joshua Schwadron Mighty)

<p>Joshua Schwadron Founder and CEO of Mighty visits  the podcast to discuss how his company and law firm are disrupting personal injury law.</p> <p>Even though Joshua has a law degree, he knew he did not want to practice law in the traditional sense.</p> <p>Instead, in 2010 the entrepreneur in him founded Betterfly, a marketplace where consumers found service providers to help with projects like home remodels, yardwork or wedding plans.</p> <p>Betterfly was acquired by a company ultimately purchased by Microsoft and Joshua found himself with time to move on to a new venture, and that would be legal related.</p> <p>After Betterfly, he launched a litigation finance company and worked on it for a few years, until 2015 when he launched Mighty.</p> <p>At first, Mighty also had a litigation funding component and tried to pair plaintiffs with funders by having them compete for cases.</p> <p>Gaining traction with that model turned out to be a little harder than Johsua expected, so Mighty started building tech to help plaintiffs and their lawyers track liens against recoveries in their cases held by medical providers and other attorneys.</p> <p>As you will hear from Joshua, Mighty is a purpose driven company and its goal is to make the practice of personal injury law more efficient so plaintiffs can take home better settlements.</p> <p>That’s why he decided to found Mighty the law firm. A firm that requires lawyers to abide by a <a href= "https://www.mighty.com/mighty-law-code-of-conduct" target="_blank" rel="noopener">code of conduct</a> and work to put the most money in plaintiff’s pockets.</p>
