A different kind of referral marketplace.
CabRank Legal is a live referral marketplace for Australian lawyers, built by Australian legal-industry operators with experience running legal enquiry channels, operating law firms, building lawyer networks and founding legal technology businesses, including NebuLAW.
CabRank is a separate referral, intake and handoff platform. It is not a practice management system, case management system, conveyancing management system or PMS replacement.
When a member of the public has a legal problem, they’re routed through one of our intake channels (voice AI hotline, web booking, or a partner site), and the referral appears in your dashboard within minutes. You claim, you call, you act. No phone tag, no slow email digest, no inter-firm reciprocal IOUs.
Why we built it
A traditional referral arrives by email or phone hours (sometimes days) after the client first picked up the phone. By then the client has often booked someone else, or lost confidence in the system entirely. The lawyer receives a name and a number, has to chase down the brief, has to do all of their own intake from scratch. The firm pays for the lead in opaque ways — usually monthly retainers and fixed agency fees with no link to outcomes.
Feedback we got from real lawyers about what they actually wanted in a referral system:
- The lead lands in my dashboard while the client’s call is still warm
- I see the referral details and intake summary, not the marketing layer of the intake
- The client has already paid for the consultation (for paid bookings) or completed enough intake that I’m not starting from zero
- I claim with a single click, the confirmed intake details are passed to my own systems, and I get on with contacting the client
CabRank Legal is what that vision looks like, built end-to-end on technology that is in every sense cutting-edge. The AI-enhanced intake channels currently feeding it — gotocourt.com.au, legal-hotline.com, and allcourts.com.au — handle more than 60,000 Australian legal enquiries every year between them.
How we work
Lawyer-first privacy
Our AI summariser strips every personal identifying reference in the call before any lawyer sees the referral, to ensure privacy before the lawyer claims it. What you see is the relevant intake summary.
PMS-native, not PMS-replacement
CabRank is the front of the funnel. Once a referral is claimed and your firm chooses to proceed, CabRank can pass structured intake information into your own PMS, calendar or document store.
CabRank does not replace your file, billing, trust accounting, time recording, legal matter management or conveyancing management system. Your firm’s own PMS or internal process remains the system of record.
Australian-built, Australian-hosted
The platform runs on a Sydney-region server. The Australian Privacy Principles are the regulatory framework we design around, not an afterthought.
Live, not batched
Referrals appear when they appear. There’s no morning digest. There’s no fairness algorithm that holds leads back to maintain a queue. If you’re online and a referral in your areas of law comes through, you see it within seconds. The Network Rules govern allocation order; subscription tier shapes priority; nothing else is delayed.
No false economics
Free 14-day trial where you can claim real referrals and test the system. Pricing is published on the front page. No “request a demo” gates, no “contact sales for pricing.” If the price doesn’t work for you, you shouldn’t sign up — but you’ll always know what it is.
CabRank is not a practice management system
CabRank is a referral, intake and handoff platform. It helps law firms receive, assess and claim legal enquiries and, where enabled, pass structured intake information into the firm’s own PMS, calendar, document store or internal process.
CabRank is not a legal practice management system, case management system, conveyancing management system, billing system, trust accounting system, time recording system, document management system or system of record for legal matters.
Your firm’s own PMS or internal process remains the file of record.
What we’re not
- Not a law firm. Platfirm AI Pty Ltd is the technology company that operates CabRank. We do not provide legal advice. All legal services on the platform are provided by independently practising Australian lawyers who claim referrals.
- Not a directory. We are not paid to surface specific lawyers ahead of others. The Network Rules govern allocation. There is no “premium listing” you can buy to see a bigger list than anyone else. The rank is open to all members, and it’s a case of first in, best dressed. Claim it, and it’s yours.
- Not a US product. We did not start by translating a US product into Australian. CabRank was built in Sydney for Australian practice from day one. Every choice — terminology, jurisdictional matching, regulatory framing — reflects that.
- Not VC-financed. Platfirm AI is privately held by the founders. Our incentives are aligned with serving lawyers well over a long horizon, not exiting a fund.
