The start-ups challenging big banks on loans and payments

Almost half Australian marriages end in divorce, but most people can’t pay for them. It’s not really the kind of thing most young lawyers cutting their teeth in London spend their days thinking about, but when Jack O’Donnell and Andy O’Connor caught up in 2021 they realised they had grown sick of helping rich people get richer.

They officially launched JustFund in January 2022 to provide loans to Australians who are unable to pay for the legal costs associated with their separation or divorce up front.
