Legal Funding Options
Flexible Legal Fee Funding with JustFund
At Neilson & Co Legal, we believe access to quality legal advice should not depend on whether you can pay everything upfront. Separation, divorce and property settlement already bring enough stress - funding your legal representation shouldn’t add to it.
That why we are proud to be a JustFund partner law firm, offering eligible clients access to legal funding for Family Law matters.
What is Legal Funding?
Legal Funding allows eligible clients to defer payment of legal fess and disbursements until their matter is resolved.
Through our partnership with JustFund, clients may be able to access a flexible line of credit to cover legal costs during their family law matter, with repayment typically made after property settlement.
This means you can focus on protection your future - not worrying about how to fund your case.
How JustFund Legal Funding Works
A Practical Option for Family Law Matters
Legal funding through JustFund is designed specifically for family law property matters, including matters where parenting and property issues are dealt with together.
The process is straightforward:
Step 1 – Initial Discussion
Speak with our team to see whether legal funding may be suitable for your circumstances.
Step 2 – Application
An application is made directly with JustFund, supported by information about your matter.
Step 3 – Assessment
JustFund assesses eligibility, usually within several business days of receiving all required information.
Step 4 – Funding & Progress
If approved, funds are applied toward your legal fees and disbursements as your matter progresses.
Step 5 – Repayment After Settlement
Repayment is generally made once your property settlement is finalised and you receive funds.
Who Legal Funding May Suit
Legal funding can be particularly helpful if you:
Are separating or divorcing and awaiting a property settlement
Have limited access to joint funds

Are experiencing financial pressure following separation

Legal funding is not available for parenting-only matters, but may be available where parenting and property issues are addressed together.
