Work
Dismissal, unfair labour practice and the CCMA.
Legal help, made simple.
LawGuru is building a simple way for people and companies to find attorneys and advocates. Separately, it offers law firms software for their practice: from the first “hello” to a quote, a signed mandate and the work itself.
Where to start
- I need legal helpOpening soon: choose an attorney from the panel, tell them what happened, and get a quote before any work starts.
- I am an attorney or advocateWe are forming a panel: a free listing, separate from any software.
- We are an insurer or a companyWe are forming a panel for your legal work and your policyholders' claims.
Legal help
From your story to an attorney, in three steps.
You will choose an attorney yourself, from several on the panel: LawGuru does not send anyone to a particular firm, and does not give legal advice. The attorney reads what happened and decides how the firm can help.
- Choose an attorneyFrom several on the panel: the choice is yours.
- Tell them what happenedIn your own words. The attorney contacts you, after checking that the firm is free to act for you.
- You get a quoteIn plain terms, before any work starts. Nothing is charged before you accept it.

For attorneys and advocates
Join the panel
We are forming LawGuru's panel, for people who need legal help and for companies such as insurers.
The attorneys and advocates on the panel give the legal advice, under their own professional rules. Being listed is free, and it never depends on LawHero or LawAngel, the software LawGuru offers law firms separately.
For insurers and companies
We are forming a panel for the legal matters of your policyholders, your clients and your staff: attorneys and advocates who quote before any work starts.
A panel for your claims
Attorneys and advocates from one panel, from the first contact to the final account.
Quoted before it starts
Firms on the panel will quote their own fees before any work starts.
Under your own name
A panel on LawGuru in your own brand is something we discuss with you under a non-disclosure agreement.
Help for your staff
A simple way for your people to reach a qualified attorney is something to discuss with you.
The software
Separately from the panel, LawGuru offers law firms LawHero, which comes with LawAngel: one system for a modern practice.
LawHero, a firm's day (a demonstration firm: the people are made up)
The practice itself: a front desk that takes down new clients' stories, the conflict check, FICA, quotes in 15-minute units, letters of engagement signed online, deposits and the trust account, invoices, the diary, and a secure page for every client.
More about LawHero
The tools inside Microsoft Word: research in South African law, drafting and reviewing documents and court papers, a legal library, and help preparing court bundles.
