We’ve seen first-hand how financial worries can stop people from moving ahead during separation. That’s why it’s encouraging to see the immediate impact of JustFund, a legal fee finance option now available in New Zealand. Already, it’s helping our clients focus on achieving fair outcomes without the upfront stress of legal fees.
How JustFund works
JustFund provides flexible funding to cover legal fees during family law proceedings. What sets it apart is its repayment structure: loans are only repaid once the relationship property matter is resolved. This allows clients to focus on reaching a fair settlement without the added financial pressure up front.
Simple Application: Apply for funding directly through your family lawyer.
No Income or Credit Check: Approval is based on your expected settlement outcome – not your income or credit history.
Direct Payments: Once approved, JustFund pays legal fees directly on your behalf.
Already making a difference
We’ve already seen first-hand how JustFund can remove financial roadblocks. As Associate Micah Neville explains:
“I recently had a client who was able to move forward with her separation only because of JustFund. It took away the financial barrier that had been holding her back and allowed her to focus on achieving a fair resolution. Having this option available can make a huge difference during what is often one of the hardest times in someone’s life.”
What this means for you
For many, JustFund is levelling the playing field, ensuring access to quality legal advice that might otherwise feel out of reach. It’s helping to reduce delays, avoid unfair outcomes, and ease the stress that financial uncertainty can create.
