Context

Notarization in Lebanon meant asking around and showing up at offices. 360LEX turns it into a searchable, verified marketplace: clients find notaries and understand procedures by category, and notaries get a verified professional presence.

What I did

  • Built the platform on Next.js with location-based discovery: an interactive map of notary offices and civic locations spanning Beirut, Mount Lebanon, the North, Bekaa, and Nabatieh.
  • Implemented the notary verification flow underpinning the platform's trust model: verified professionals, secure documents, legal compliance.
  • Shipped multi-language support for a bilingual market.
  • Built procedure search and discovery by category, plus a news and updates section.

Key decisions

Trust before volume

In legal services, one bad actor poisons the marketplace. Verification of notary professionals was built as the foundation rather than a later feature. Every listing carries verified status, which is the product's core differentiator.

Map-first discovery

Notarization is inherently local. Organizing discovery around geography (regions, offices, civic locations) matched how people actually choose a notary, rather than forcing a generic search-results paradigm.

Outcome

A zero-to-one vertical marketplace covering all Lebanese regions, approaching public launch, giving a traditionally offline profession a verified digital presence.
