Strong Partnerships.
Better Client Outcomes.
We work with select accountants, financial planners, business brokers, business coaches and other professionals who we believe our client will love working with also. Maybe that is you!
We want partners who love their craft, have great customer service and invest in relationships.

A legal partner your clients will thank you for
Virtual Legal works with accountants, advisers, consultants, brokers and allied professionals who want a responsive, online-first law firm they can refer with confidence.
WHY PARTNER WITH VIRTUAL LEGAL?
Your client relationship matters. When you introduce someone to us, our job is to give your clients the best experience, protect their interests,
respond in a timely manner, communicate clearly, protect the trust you have built and make the legal process easier for you and your client.
A legal team available when clients need us
Risks and opportunities often fall outside business hours, or maybe you're busy during the day. We are open up to 9:00pm weekdays for your convenience.
Complimentary business health checks
Referral partners can access bi-annual business health checks focused on identifying legal risks, opportunities and practical next steps within their own business.
INITIAL Strategy
Calls
Partners can contact us for an initial discussion about a potential matter. If we are not the right fit, we will aim to help identify the right pathway so you and your client are not left searching blindly.
Thought leadership and visibility
Partners may be invited to join us for quarterly podcast conversations, webinars, articles or other educational content shared across Virtual Legal’s business audience and professional networks.
Legal credits for your own business
Partners may receive credits toward eligible Virtual Legal work for their own business, subject to the partnership terms in place at the time.
Quarterly partnership review
We review what is working, where we can improve the referral experience, and where useful introductions or third party collaboration could help support growth of your business.

GREAT PARTNERSHIP FIT
We look for partners who are known for the quality of their work, strong client relationships and practical communication. Before we begin referring clients to each other, we prefer to speak directly so both sides can assess whether the relationship is the right fit.
WHAT A PARTNERSHIP LOOKS LIKE
1. We get to know each other
A partnership starts with a short conversation. We want to understand who you help, the clients you do your best work with, what you value in a referral relationship and how you prefer introductions to be made.
2. We agree the referral pathway
Referrals can be made by warm email introduction or through the referral pathway published by Virtual Legal. We triage the enquiry, confirm fit and guide the client through onboarding.
3. We protect the handover
The legal work stays with us. Your client relationship stays yours. We approach each referral as an extension of the trust you have already built.
4. We keep improving
We hold quarterly partner reviews to identify what is working, what could be better and where additional collaboration or introductions would be valuable.
THE PARTNERSHIP ROADMAP
Virtual Legal is continuing to expand the way clients and partners can access legal support. The following initiatives should be presented on the website as planned future developments, not current services:
| Timing | Typical matters |

| Q2 2027 | Planned move toward 24-hour commercial legal support, supported by a broader media and partner campaign. |
