Why MLC

The legal talent stack, rebuilt for speed.

Three product principles. Each one fixes something the buyer side has been carrying for a decade.

SLA

Four business hours.

Brief in by noon, shortlist out by 4pm. The clock starts when your matter description lands and runs against AEST business hours.

Compliance

Conflicts pre-cleared.

Every lawyer surfaced has already passed a conflict check against your matter type, parties, and history. The shortlist is the cleared list.

Pricing

Fixed-fee, scoped at match.

Engagement letters are priced when the lawyer is matched. No hourly creep. Scope changes go through transparent amendments before extra work begins.

Both sides

Designed for buyers and lawyers.

For buyers

In-house General Counsel.

Cover a leave gap, take on a one-off transaction, or scale capacity for a quarter. No permanent hire. No six-figure firm retainer.

  • Three vetted profiles, four business hours
  • Single invoice, single point of contact
  • Conflict-cleared before you see any name

The principle

"If every other part of an in-house leader's stack moved to same-day fulfilment a decade ago, senior legal talent should too. Four hours is the new bar."

My Legal Connect operating principle
FAQ

Common questions.

What kind of lawyers does My Legal Connect match?
Senior Australian-qualified lawyers, typically post-admission seven years or more, with current practising certificates. Areas: corporate and commercial, employment, IP and tech, privacy and data, M&A, banking and finance, dispute resolution, in-house GC cover.
How is this different from Plexus Engage or LOD?
Three things. Daily rates published to buyers up front, not gated behind a sales call. Conflicts pre-cleared by us before you see any lawyer profile. Every engagement fixed-fee with scope priced at match, not hourly with a budget cap.
Who handles the engagement letter and invoicing?
My Legal Connect holds the master engagement and issues a single fixed-fee invoice. The matched lawyer is paid by us. You get one invoice, one point of contact, one engagement letter, regardless of how many engagements you run through the platform.
What does 'four business hours' actually mean?
Four AEST business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. A brief submitted at 3pm Friday is delivered by midday Monday. After-hours and weekend briefs are queued for next business day intake.
What does it cost?
There is no platform subscription and no fee to submit a brief. Buyers pay the published daily rate plus a transparent margin disclosed in the engagement letter. No success fees, no annual minimums.
