OUR PARTNERS

JustFund

Legal costs shouldn’t decide the outcome of your matter. That’s why Sambanis Family Law has partnered with JustFund — Australia’s dedicated funding provider for family law and estate matters. For eligible clients, JustFund provides a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and related costs, with nothing repayable until your property settlement is finalised or the estate is distributed.

ASSESSED DIFFERENTLY

JustFund assesses your matter and its underlying assets — not your income, employment history or credit score. Approval is typically completed within a week, with funds released within 24 hours.

WHY WE'VE PARTNERED WITH THEM

We’ve seen too many people accept less than a fair outcome simply because they couldn’t fund the process — often those who are financially dependent on a former partner, or managing an estate while their own funds are tied up. Partnering with JustFund means we can offer funding as an option from the outset, so that your financial position at the start doesn’t determine your result at the end.
