As Murthy explained, “He kept following me around, saying, ‘It’s the wave of the future! I’ll do the work!’ And finally I thought, fine, if it’s free, I guess I can live with it. I’ve got nothing to lose.” The website went online in the fall of 1994. The firm’s website is now the most viewed legal website in the United States.
