For employment lawyers
Founding places for Canterbury employment lawyers
Employment problems are time-sensitive. Someone who has just been dismissed, or is being pushed through a restructure, wants to speak to a lawyer soon, and often has little time to compare options.
Lawmateanz matches both employees and employers with independent lawyers whose practice areas fit. We are opening in Canterbury first.
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.
What people are looking for
- Personal grievances, including unjustified dismissal
- Redundancy and restructuring
- Employment agreements and policies
- Bullying, harassment and workplace investigations
- Employers needing advice before acting
Standing out in employment work
Say whether you act for employees, employers or both. It is one of the first things people want to know, and it saves you enquiries that were never going to fit.
Questions lawyers ask
Can I list if I only act for employers?
Yes. Say so on your profile so clients know what to expect.
Do you take a percentage of what I earn?
No. There is no commission and no share of your fees.
Is the founding price locked in?
The founding price of NZ$150 per month applies to the first 10 lawyers in a region and stays at that price while you remain subscribed.
