Why was Legal Tender created?

To help clients find the right lawyer, at the right price.

Legal Tender was created to help clients find the right lawyer for them and their situation. Existing legal referral services only give clients the name of a lawyer and a phone number. What the client really wants to know, however, is “How much will my case cost?” and “How good are the lawyers?” Clients using Legal Tender are armed with that information and able, for the first time in Australia, to make a truly informed choice.  To find out how more here to discover how we can help you find the right lawyer for you, and to ensure you get the right legal advice

To help law firms find the right clients, efficiently.

Before Legal Tender, law firms had to waste time, energy and resources, marketing to potential clients and turning away those it didn’t want or couldn’t help. At Legal Tender, we do the hard work and find the right clients. Our member firms then pre-screen those cases and tender only for the work they want. The result is increased efficiency in law firms, a focused practice, steady case flow, and increased competition in the legal industry.

How does it work for lawyers?

(1) Register for free

Simply fill out our online registration form, and we’ll send you a unique username and password.

(2) Clients post cases

Clients tell us the type of legal problem they have, and where they want their lawyer to work from. We help them to describe their legal problems, with an easy to use questionnaire.

(3) Receive invitations to tender

We will email you each time we have a case suited to your practice (i.e., according to location and practice area). You can review those case details, and get the information you need to conduct a conflicy search by logging in to your Legal Tender account.

(4) Bid for the cases you want

You are free to bid on the matters that interest you and reject those that don`t. You have five days after a case is posted to tender for a matter, but clients can choose a winner at any time – so get in early. Tenders can include a rate per hour, an estimate of fees, and any notes you feel necessary. Tenders are based on the information given by the client and are not binding. See our FAQs for tips on successful bidding.

(5) Win new clients

Clients compare bids, skills and experience and choose the firm they like best. We provide the client’s contact details to the winning firm upon payment of the referral fee.
