For lawyers

For independent lawyers in New Zealand and Australia

Lawmateanz matches people with independent lawyers based on what they describe. We are opening region by region, starting with Canterbury.

How it works for lawyers

  • Free to list, and your first client match is free.
  • After that, a flat monthly fee: NZ$150 founding price for the first 10 lawyers in a region, then NZ$250. No commission and no share of your fees.
  • We check practising certificates before anyone is listed.

Client requests depend on demand in your area and are not guaranteed.
