Free case check · Anywhere in Australia
Got a letter you can't stop rereading?
Sacked, hurt, ripped off or knocked back by an insurer. Tell us what happened in your own words. Upload the emails, the photos, the voice memo you recorded in the car park. A real solicitor reads the lot and tells you straight whether you've got a case, what it's worth and what it'll cost to run.
About 15 minutes. Save it and come back any time. Nothing goes to the other side. Rather not type? Record a voice note instead.
60-second check
Not sure where to start? Answer three questions.
Tell us roughly what happened and your postcode. We'll show you which tribunal or scheme usually deals with it and any deadline to watch. Then a real person follows up. Sometimes that's "let's look at this properly". Sometimes it's a cheaper fix, like a free ombudsman. We'll say which.
Lost your job in the last three weeks? Some claims have to be lodged within 21 days. Don't sit on it.
Talk to us your way
Type it, upload it or say it out loud. Whatever is easiest for you.
Sound familiar?
The kind of thing people bring us. If yours is on the list, or nowhere near it, start the check anyway.
"They let me go two weeks after I asked about my pay."
Employment
"I hurt my back at work and the claim's going nowhere."

RentingThree steps. No waiting room.
Tell us what happened
Type it, say it or upload it. Voice notes, screenshots, letters, photos of the dent. We ask the follow-up questions a good lawyer would ask in a first meeting. You don't need to know any legal words.
A solicitor goes through it
Our software builds the timeline and pulls up the law and the past cases that look like yours. Then a practising Australian solicitor checks every word before you see it. Nobody signs anything off on autopilot.
You get a straight answer
A report in plain English. Your chances, a realistic dollar range, what it'd cost and how long it'd take. Plus the ways you could pay for it, including no win no fee if your case is strong enough.
What lands in your inbox
A made-up example. Yours is built from your own story.
Unfair dismissal, Fair Work Commission
Reviewed and signed by a practising solicitor at the partner firm
Read a full example report
The first look is free. After that, no surprises.
In Australia the loser usually pays the winner's legal costs. So we show you both columns: what it costs to run your case and what you could be up for if it goes the wrong way. Then we match you with a way to pay that suits.
No win no fee
If the case is strong enough, the firm only gets paid if you win.
Pay later
Fees wait until your settlement or a property sale comes through.
Funded
For bigger claims a litigation funder can cover the costs and the risk.
Free help
Money tight or a public interest case? We'll point you to pro bono lawyers and legal aid.
Most people never find out if they had a case. They just let it go.

Who we built it for
We are piloting with firms around Australia. Here is who we built it for.
The first meeting, already done.
Every enquiry turns up as a file. Chronology, issues, authorities checked against the source, a merits view and a costed roadmap to trial. You review it, change what you like and sign. Turn down the duds in five minutes instead of three unbilled hours.
Also drafts briefs to counsel, letters of demand, first-cut pleadings and costs agreements.
Strong case. No cash.
We put good cases in front of litigation funders, lenders and insurers. They compete for them. Before anyone signs you'll see exactly what you'd keep under every offer. The funder pays. You still call the shots.
Know someone who's been done over?
Most of our clients hear about us from a mate. If someone you know is stewing over a letter, send them this. The check is free and it's private.
Fair questions
Is this a real lawyer or a robot?
Both, in that order. The software does the digging. A practising solicitor does the advising and signs off on anything you get.
What if I don't have a case?
We'll tell you why. Sometimes there's a cheaper fix, like a complaint to an ombudsman. If so we'll point you there.
Will the other side find out?
No. Nothing leaves LawyerUp unless you and your solicitor decide to send it.
Does it work in my state?
Yes. LawyerUp covers all of Australia. Your postcode tells us which state rules, tribunals and time limits apply. You are matched with a solicitor who practises there. See how it works in each state.
Which areas of law?
Losing your job, injuries at work or on the road, insurance and super knock-backs, building and tradie disputes, renting and bond trouble, plus family property or will disputes. Not criminal charges or family law parenting matters.
How long does it take?
About 15 minutes to tell us. A real person gets back to you, usually the same business day. Your report usually follows within a few business days.
Find out where you stand.
It's free, it's private and you can stop whenever you like.
