Support more clients, get paid faster & grow your legal practice
As a family or estate lawyer, you play a vital role in guiding your clients through challenging times. However, financial constraints prevent clients from engaging you, strain existing client-lawyer relationships and limit the firm’s potential for impact and growth.
Legal funding empowers clients and reduces write-downs, write-offs, and the added burden of chasing unpaid invoices for lawyers.
Family lawyers: we now support more clients via our expanded offering – “Dual-Party Lending” for both sides.
If one party is already a client of JustFund we can offer funding to the other party via The LegalAccess Fund, a sister company of JustFund. The LegalAccess Fund has its own dedicated team and systems, ensuring that each client’s information, application, and funding are kept strictly separate and confidential. Read more about Dual-Party Lending here.
With JustFund you can get paid on time, improve cash flow and expand your client base by offering more flexible payment options.
Trusted by over 4,000 Australian family and estate lawyers, a JustFund line of credit provides clients with the certainty and confidence they need to focus on their matter, and gives you the peace of mind to do your best work.
Why partner with JustFund?

How It Works
Application
Your client applies for funding, or you apply on their behalf. There is no impact on their credit score and the process is quick and easy.
Assessment
We assess the application and reach out to gather any necessary information. It typically takes one week to provide an outcome.
Approval
If approved, a line of credit is established for your client. You send the invoices, and we cover the family & estate lawyer fees on their behalf, as well as any other approved expenses.
Repayment
The client isn’t required to repay until their property settlement is finalised or the estate assets are distributed. They are only charged interest on the funds used.
“JustFund has been game-changing for my business. I’ve integrated it into my client onboarding process so all clients now have the option for finance.”
What makes us different to other lenders?
We put clients first
We appreciate the stress and uncertainty your clients are experiencing, and we always seek to deal with them in an empathetic, respectful and responsive manner.
Fast
We are responsive and make fast funding decisions. We aim to advise clients of our lending decisions within one week of receiving all the information we need from the client and their lawyer.
No lengthy case summaries
As lawyers ourselves, we understand how valuable a solicitor's time is. We don’t require you to complete lengthy applications or provide advice on prospects.
Flexible
We can assist your clients at any stage of a property matter and we don’t require them to be registered on title to be approved.
No firm guarantees required
Our accredited law firm partners are not required to guarantee or underwrite funding in any way.
Improved operations and service
When legal bills are paid on time, firms spend less time negotiating payment plans and chasing clients for payment, and more time pursuing the best outcomes possible for their clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
We can currently establish a line of credit for family law separations that involve a division of property. This can include parenting matters if it is connected to or being run alongside a division of property. Unfortunately, we are unable to support exclusively parenting matters at this time.
You can apply at any stage in the separation process, including at the same time as you engage your family lawyer. You can also apply if you have unpaid legal bills and would like to access funds to support their payment.
We independently assess the circumstances of your separation and your legal entitlement under the Family Law Act. Based on this assessment, we then consider whether the amount of funding required to resolve your matter is consistent with our eligibility criteria. 90% of applications are assessed within 48 hours of receiving all the information we need from you and your solicitor.
You can apply directly, or your lawyer can apply on your behalf. Our online application can be found at https://www.justfund.com.au/apply-now.
We perform a “soft” credit check, which does not impact your credit score. The soft check will be noted on your credit report, recording that we have simply requested a soft credit check on you.
