For lawyers
Thinking about your own practice?
Lawmateanz connects people in New Zealand and Australia with verified, independent lawyers. If you're practising on your own account, or planning to, we can help you find clients from day one. Your first client match is free, then a flat $250/mo.
Founding lawyer offer
The first 10 lawyers in each region pay $150/month instead of $250, locked for as long as they stay subscribed. Your first client match is still free.

What you get
Your Benefits
NZ$250/mo flat
Directory listing, client leads, and bundled access to identity-verified accountants, VAs, and cybersecurity support — one membership, no long-term contract.
Active Matching, Not a Phone Book
You're probably already free-listed
The NZ Law Society's own "Find a Lawyer" register lists over 10,000 lawyers — a passive directory a client has to already know to search. Lawmateanz actively routes matched clients to you, tracks whether you actually responded, and rotates new leads fairly so newer lawyers aren't buried under established firms with more reviews.
No Pay-to-Rank, Ever
Position is earned, not bought
Some competing platforms sell placement — a paid tier that puts a firm higher in results regardless of fit or who's waited longest. Lawmateanz has no paid tier that buys visibility. The same fair-rotation rule applies to every lawyer on the platform.
Cheaper For Your Clients
No referral cut baked in
Referral arrangements in common-law jurisdictions have run 25–33% of a case fee (a NZ Law Society-cited benchmark from a comparable Canadian regulator), often passed on to the client. A flat NZ$250/mo means you don't need to inflate your rates to cover it.
More Money For You
Keep 100% of every fee
Compare that to losing 25–33% per case to a referral partner, or NZ$8–22 per click for legal Google Ads keywords (NZ-specific data) — with several clicks typically needed per actual lead.
Works With Your Software
Straight into LEAP, Actionstep or Clio
New client matches can go straight into your Clio Grow lead inbox, or into LEAP and Actionstep through Zapier or Make — as well as your usual email. Set it up once from your dashboard.
Lawmateanz pricing is in NZD. Google Ads and recruitment-agency figures above are NZ-specific benchmarks (see sources noted). B2B lead-gen cost-per-lead figures are global benchmarks — we couldn't find solid published NZ/AU-specific data for that one. The NZ Law Society's "Find a Lawyer" register size is publicly stated on their own site. All figures are general benchmarks, not guarantees.
Lawmateanz charges a flat monthly subscription — never a percentage of any fee, settlement, or award. By signing up you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
