How it works
How Wakili Link works: three steps to the right advocate
- 01
Tell us what you need
Create a client account and describe your problem in plain language — what happened, where you are and what outcome you want.
- 02
Get matched with advocates
We send your inquiry to verified advocates who cover that area of law and are taking on new clients. Each one accepts or declines.
- 03
Agree terms directly
Agree the scope of work and the professional fee directly with the advocate you choose. Our platform fee is shown as a separate line.
Why use the platform
Why clients use Wakili Link to find an advocate
Verified advocates
Before an advocate can receive referrals we review their practising certificate, admission to the Roll, professional indemnity cover and ID.
Matched, not searched
You describe the matter once. We do the sorting, so you are not cold-calling names from a directory and repeating your story.
Direct engagement
Your legal relationship is with the advocate, who owes you their full professional duties. We make the introduction; we never give the advice.
Transparent fees
One client subscription, one platform fee, both disclosed before you commit — never bundled into a professional fee you can’t see.
