Our Mission
We Are Here to Help Clients Through Some of Life's Most Challenging Moments
We provide flexible funding so people can pursue their family law or estate matters without financial pressure and with the dignity and support they deserve. We are real people, here to guide you through complex moments. We combine JustFund’s legal funding expertise with a human approach. We want you to feel supported, not pressured.
Our mission is to provide flexible funding solutions and wellbeing support for a better, happier future. We are not just lenders; we are here to assist, listen and provide the support people need to take the next step in their family law or estates journey.
We strive to embody our PERC values in all of our interactions with clients and law firm partners.
- Professionalism
We bring care, respect and sound judgement to every interaction. Our team aims to make each step feel considered and well managed, with a high standard of service for both clients and law firm partners.
- Empathy
We understand that many people come to us during emotionally difficult and financially stressful periods. We take the time to listen, understand their circumstances and respond with sensitivity, patience and compassion.
- Responsiveness
We know that uncertainty can add to the pressure people are already feeling. That is why we communicate clearly, respond promptly and help keep the funding process moving so clients and lawyers know what to expect next.
- Care
We look beyond the funding itself and focus on the person behind the application. From the first conversation onwards, we aim to provide practical assistance, reassurance and guidance that respects each client’s individual situation.
Why We Exist
Built for the Gap Between Entitlement and Access
Many people come to JustFund at a difficult point in their lives. They may have a property settlement, estate distribution or other legal entitlement ahead, but limited access to the funds they need right now.
JustFund was created to help bridge that gap. Our family law and estate funding solutions can help eligible clients manage approved costs while their matter progresses, so financial pressure does not make an already challenging situation harder to navigate.
We take the time to understand each client’s circumstances, legal matter and expected entitlement, with a process designed to feel practical, respectful and reassuring from the start.

Our team is here to make each step feel clearer and more manageable. We help clients understand what information is needed, explain what happens next and answer questions about their funding as their matter progresses.
We are here to provide patient, practical guidance so you can feel informed, supported and more confident about the next step.
Our Founders
Why We Started JustFund
When JustFund founders Jack, Andy and Craig came together, they each saw the same problem from a different angle.
Jack and Andy, both former lawyers, had seen clients struggle to move forward because they could not afford upfront legal costs. In some cases, people with legitimate claims and a great deal at stake were being forced to delay action or walk away altogether because the funds simply were not available when they were needed.
Craig brought a background in financial services and technology, along with experience building solutions focused on financial wellbeing. He saw an opportunity to apply that thinking to legal funding and create a model that could be more flexible, practical and responsive to the realities clients were facing.
We believe that no one should have to walk away from a fair outcome and a better future because of their bank balance.
Together, they recognised a group of Australians who were falling through the cracks. Many had assets or an expected settlement ahead, but not the funds they needed at that point to access legal support. In family law matters especially, that could mean delaying action, accepting an outcome they were not comfortable with or struggling to afford the representation they needed.
The founders believed that access to legal support should not depend solely on someone’s immediate cash flow, income or credit history. There had to be a fairer and more practical way to help people move forward.
What began as a solution for people navigating family law matters soon developed into a broader purpose. By bringing together legal experience and flexible, asset-based funding, JustFund created a model designed around the realities clients face when their assets are not yet accessible.
Today, that work extends to estate funding and other legal finance solutions. The purpose remains the same: to help Australians facing difficult legal and financial circumstances access the support they need to move towards a fair outcome and a better future.
