With consumers looking for new ways to meet their legal needs and lawyers looking for new ways to find clients, the company that owns the Martindale-Hubbell and Avvo rating services is trying to meet those needs.

Internet Brands, a privately held company that owns Martindale-Hubbell, Lawyers.com, the Ngage online chat service, and NOLO and its related sites, acquired Avvo in March 2018 when Avvo was considering transforming into a publicly held company.

Internet Brands shortly thereafter announced Martindale-Avvo “as the new name for its robust and innovative online legal network.”
