Useful Resources

These are some useful resources for you to have access to.

Legal triage is helpful because it gives people quick clarity about their legal situation before they invest time, money, or emotional energy into the wrong pathway. It acts as a first-line assessment, similar to medical triage, but for legal issues.

Here’s how it helps:

1. Identifies the Type of Legal Problem

Many people don’t know whether their issue is:

  • civil

  • commercial

  • property

  • employment

  • criminal

  • a dispute

  • or simply a misunderstanding

Legal triage categorises the issue immediately.

2. Assesses Urgency and Risk

Triage highlights whether a matter is:

  • urgent (e.g., deadlines, limitation dates, notices to comply)

  • important but not immediate

  • low risk

  • or not actually a legal issue

This helps stop you from missing deadlines or panicking unnecessarily.

3. Directs People to the Right Lawyer or Service

It ensures you are sent to a choice of:

  • lawyers with the correct expertise

  • mediators

  • conveyancers

This prevents you being “bounced around” and improves outcomes.
