About

Straight answers about the law, for everyone.

LawyerUp is operated by Blackwood Fund Australia. We built it so anyone in Australia can find out whether they have a case without paying for a first meeting.

Why we built it

Most people with a real legal problem never speak to a lawyer. They don't know if it's worth it, they're worried about the cost or they don't know where to start. Meanwhile deadlines run out. LawyerUp fixes the first step. You tell us what happened in your own words. A practising solicitor tells you straight where you stand.

Who does what

Blackwood Fund Australia owns and runs the LawyerUp platform. The software organises your story and documents and flags the rules and time limits for your state. Legal advice comes from independent Australian law practices, who review everything and sign off on any report you receive. They're responsible for their advice. We don't give legal advice ourselves.

Paying for a case

If your case is strong, you may not have to pay upfront. Options include no win no fee arrangements with the firm, deferred fees and, for the right matters, litigation funding arranged through Blackwood Fund Australia. Your solicitor explains any costs in writing before you commit to anything.
