“LawPath seeks to bring solicitors together with clients who have a current need for a solicitor to help them on a specific problem. There is no cost to the solicitor for participating.”

Co-founder of LawPath, Phil Morle, said: “We are very enthusiastic about the opportunities created for solicitors in Australia by LawPath.

“As can be seen from the success of similar sites in the US, there is merit in alternate ways of finding potential clients. We are focused on increasing the opportunities for solicitors to find genuine, fee-paying matters."
