Tackling access to justice by assisting the “missing middle” with Carly Stebbing, Resolution123 (ep 33)

Today I’m joined by Carly Stebbing, Principal and Founder of Resoltion123 – an online law firm for employees.  Carly is passionate about making justice accessible to the average Australian. She established Resolution123 to employment law quick, simple and affordable for employees.   I approached Carly as a guest on the show because I was interested in learning about her online web app – a clever online tool that allows clients to upload information about their circumstances and find out if they have a claim. As well as this, Carly shares a wealth of knowledge about running a legal practice as a business in the true sense of the word. She shares how she saw a gap in the market and worked out how to service it and is a prime example of what a client centric approach really looks like.  Here’s a summary of the things we talk about:  The 3 steps to Resolution123 – assess, assemble, accelerate First of a kind web-app that replaces a lawyer’s initial consult Tackling the access to justice crisis by providing services to the “missing middle” Why we shouldn’t automate everything The value of niche positioning Behind the scenes – how the work gets done (hint: there are real humans!)
