How it works
Next generation legal service
Tribe’s mission is to empower and support self-managed participants, including self-represented litigants, in the family law system. To deliver on that objective, we must work differently from other Australian family lawyers.
We have seen, too, that the traditional Australian family lawyer-client relationship does not deliver the value and support that many people seek.
So we have thought hard about how family lawyers and their clients could better work together, and in a more contemporary way. This has resulted in the design and ongoing development of the Tribe Legal Service Model. And a commitment from us to deliver a more respectful, responsive and cost-effective client experience for you.
The Tribe Legal Service Model
-
Online & Personal
You choose your Legal Service Products within our web portal. Then we consult with you, provide documents and take your instructions online. Yet you speak personally with us, our advice is tailored and your documentation is bespoke.
-
Unbundled
We provide only the specific legal services that you order, rather than all the legal services in a matter, as most Australian family lawyers do. ‘Unbundled legal service’ a new method of providing affordable access to justice.
-
Self-managed
We don’t appear in court for you. And you sign the letters, file the documents, and conduct negotiations. But all with as much guidance from us as you need. You drive your own case: we’re right here in the back seat.
Is Tribe for you?
Are you:
• comfortable working independently?
• feel OK about managing your own family law issues?
• reasonably good with technology?
There are no guarantees in family law, not for anyone. But Tribe can be right there, behind you, in many of the most needed post-separation processes. If you put your best legal foot forward, this will reflect in your outcomes.
We can help you make this happen.
