How did we start?

New Ambit began with a project at the University of Pittsburgh to provide legal guidance to professionals who were assisting in emergencies throughout the United States.  This system was instrumental in enabling healthcare professionals and relief organizations to safely and legally provide aid to victims of catastrophes like Hurricane Maria and won awards from the Army Medical Corps of Engineers and the University of Pittsburgh. We were excited about the capabilities of the system and the positive feedback we received, and eagerly went looking for other areas where this solution could be valuable. After a lot of time spent talking with lawyers about different areas of law that have similar cross-jurisdictional issues in fast growing industries, we found an urgent need for a similar product in the rapidly growing telehealth industry – a demand for primary legal research and guidance that was not being met by existing legal software providers.
