Targeting the “missing middle”: Prevention is better than cure with Jacqui Brauman, TBA Law (ep 93)

Jacqui Brauman has spent time delving into the psychology of the ‘missing middle’ and understanding the barriers that prevent upwards of 80% of people from getting professional advice.



With the goal of creating a safe space for women to access legal services, Jacqui started Legally Wise Women, which she describes as an information and education hub, a community and a starting point for women who need advice. Reflecting on other businesses that have progressed or even been disrupted by automation and technology, Jacqui aims to keep the humanity in being a lawyer. She says it’s only a matter of time before something big happens in the legal industry and aims to be ahead of the game as much as possible with her law firm, TBA Law.

Jacqui Brauman quotes



* “We’ve done a whole lot of work about our values so in our tagline we now say it [TBA Legal] stands for the better approach and we also say it stands for to be accountable, to be approachable and a couple of our other values…we’ve used the play on words a lot.”



* “I’ve thought a long time about how to create a safe place for women to land and get pointed in the right direction and learn a little bit about the legal industry so when they are actually going to hire someone they know what to look for and they don’t get taken down a path they don’t need to go on or just to show them a whole heap of alternatives…I don’t think Google is the best place to start.”
