The trap:

People ask questions expecting reassurance — but reassurance is meaningless without structure, oversight, and boundaries.

This page now answers each core question through the lens of:

  • independence

  • audit

  • cost-safety

  • role separation

What is Clean Law’s mission?

To protect clients through structural safeguards — separation of roles, escrow, fixed-fee stages, ACNC governance — that make cost safety practical, not promised.

What makes Clean Law different from traditional law firms?

We do not blend settlement and trial.
You fund one path, not both.

Why doesn’t Clean Law accept donations?

Independence requires transparency and the absence of financial influence.

How does Clean Law ensure ethical and transparent legal services?

Through ACNC governance, annual trust-account audits, escrow, fixed fees, and a constitutional prohibition on referral fees or partnerships.

How does Clean Law support clients in finding courtroom lawyers?

We do not maintain panels.
Clients instruct us to use neutral public-interest referral sources.
Clean Law remains independent at all times.

Who benefits from Clean Law’s structure?

Any client who wants cost safety, timing control, and independence from the structural traps of the traditional model.

How can clients get started?

By reviewing the Two-Lawyer Collaboration & Escrow Oversight Statement or requesting a confidential call.

Truths

Two lawyers often cost less than one — because you fund one path, not both.
Aligned incentives create structural cost safety.

If YOU save, WE win; if your case DRAGS, we lose.
Built to stop cost spiral before it starts.
