Skip the cold-calling and the awkward intake. Our AI agent qualifies your legal matter and matches you with vetted startup lawyers in your state — usually inside four hours, often inside one.
Sage qualifies your matter through a quick conversation, then matches you with up to three vetted lawyers in your state. You hear from them within four hours — and you decide who to engage. You never share contact details until you've seen the match.
What our matching engine extracts as Sage qualifies the matter, in real time.
Most legal directories make you fill in a form, hope for a response, then field cold-calls from firms who don't specialise in what you need. We do the opposite: Sage asks the right questions, the right lawyers respond.
Tell our AI agent what legal matter you have. Sage asks about practice area, state, urgency, and budget — five minutes, no forms, no friction.
Sage matches your brief against our vetted network — practice area, jurisdiction, capacity, fit. Up to three lawyers see your anonymised brief and decide whether to respond.
The lawyers who accept the brief contact you directly — usually within four hours. You pick whoever feels right. You're not committed to anyone until you say so.
Company set-up, shareholder agreements, share structures, ASIC compliance.
Vesting schedules, IP assignment, founder-leaver clauses, partnership terms.
SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds, term sheets, investor agreements.
Trademark filing, IP assignment, licensing, confidentiality, ownership.
Customer terms, MSA, DPAs, supplier contracts, licence agreements.
Employment contracts, contractor agreements, equity grants, share plans.
Privacy policies, Australian Privacy Principles, CDR, data residency.
Trade sales, acquihires, due diligence, share sale agreements.
We never charge founders. The lawyers in our network pay a per-qualified-lead fee — which means they only pay when the brief is genuinely qualified and they decide to respond. No subscription, no membership fees, no upfront commitment.
Use Sage. See your matches. Engage whichever lawyer feels right.
No fees, no commission, no obligation. The lawyer you engage charges you directly using their normal fee structure.
Most legal lead-gen pays you to chase unqualified inquiries. We're built differently: Sage qualifies every matter before you see it — practice area, jurisdiction, urgency, and budget — and only routes briefs that fit your specialisation and capacity.
You pay a fixed per-qualified-lead fee — only when you accept the brief. No subscriptions. No retainers. No paying for the leads you decline.
Apply to join the network →Yes — entirely free. We make money from the lawyers in our network who pay a per-qualified-lead fee when they accept your brief. You never pay us, and you're not obliged to engage anyone you don't want to.
Your contact details are never shared with a lawyer until that lawyer has accepted your brief. The brief itself is anonymised — lawyers see the matter shape and qualifying details, not your identity, until they've committed to respond.
Every lawyer in the network is verified against the relevant state Law Society's practising-certificate register, has a current ABN, holds professional indemnity insurance, and is reviewed for quality after their first three briefs. We remove lawyers whose response rate or client satisfaction drops below threshold.
If no lawyer in our network responds within 24 hours, we'll let you know and refund any costs (there are none, but we'll also email you directly to apologise and try to source a match outside our usual flow).
We're built specifically for startup-and-tech legal work. If you need help with conveyancing, family law, criminal, or general civil disputes, we'll redirect you to a better-fit service. Don't waste your time or ours.
