At WOWERI, we've built an AI system that matches legal clients with the best-fit attorneys across 40+ countries. Here's how our matching engine works and what we've learned building it. The Challenge Legal matching is fundamentally different from other marketplace matching problems. You're not matching a rider with a driver - you're matching a person with a complex legal problem to an attorney with the exact right combination of jurisdiction, specialization, language, experience level, and pricing. Get it wrong, and the consequences are severe - deportation, financial loss, or worse.
