Flexible Legal Financing for Family Law Matters
Mastronardi Legal have proudly partnered with JustFund to offer our clients greater financial independence, particularly through family law litigation funding.
For some clients it can be a struggle to afford legal fees and disbursements, and limited access to funding sometimes means the settlement process stalls and clients get stuck. This partnership enables our clients to access the legal assistance they deserve to settle their family law matters and move on with their lives without the burden of immediate financial constraints.
Who is JustFund?
Justfund provides an innovative new approach to helping clients pay legal bills. They are Australia’s first and only dedicated family law finance provider. They work with leading family law firm partners across Australia to offer assistance with legal fees. This is a game-changer for those in a financially difficult position.
People struggle with accessing legal services for many reasons. For example, a financially dependent spouse experiencing family violence may seek assistance removing themselves from that environment. However, their financial dependence severely limits their options.
JustFund takes the stress out of seeking financial relief. They offer a flexible and affordable line of credit to cover legal expenses and disbursements during your separation and you can apply at any stage of the settlement process. Their services simplify access to legal funding for financially disadvantaged parties.
Here is How it Works
What is your family law matter?
JustFund’s services only cover matters related to property settlements. Unfortunately, JustFund cannot cover cases that only involve parenting arrangements. However, if you’re organising parenting and property matters simultaneously, JustFund can assist.
Are there eligible assets?
JustFund can only approve funding for clients with sufficient equity in their asset pool. JustFund can account for the following assets:
Real estate.
Funds in a solicitor or conveyancer’s trust account pending an agreement.
Independently valued businesses.
Other relevant factors
JustFund assesses the unique circumstances of each case. Some of the factors JustFund may look at include:
How much credit is needed relative to the amount expected from the settlement.
How the client will repay the credit.
Any issues that may limit a client’s ability to make repayments.
More information
If you believe you may need help funding your matter, JustFund may be able to assist by paying your legal fees and disbursements with these funds repaid once your property settlement is finalised.
