Why Law Firm Partners Need a Specialist Broker

Partner income is unlike any other. Drawings, profit share, trust distributions, and retained equity don't fit neatly into a standard bank's lending calculator — which is why so many law firm partners are either declined or dramatically under-assessed when they apply directly.

John Pierre Saliba has spent 10+ years presenting complex professional income to lenders. We know which lenders have Partner Package policies, how to correctly verify partnership status, and how to structure your application to unlock your maximum borrowing capacity.

📋 Not at one of the listed firms? You may still qualify for an LMI waiver through the general Legal Professionals Package — available to all practising solicitors, barristers, and judges. See the Lawyers page →

Frequently Asked Questions

Do law firm partners qualify for LMI waivers?

Yes — partners at selected Australian law firms qualify for LMI waivers under specific lender Partner Package policies. Eligibility requires confirmation of partner status at one of the approved firms. The loan can be in the partner's own name, a related company or trust, or in a spouse's name — provided the partner is involved at least as guarantor.

My firm isn't on the approved list — can I still get an LMI waiver?

Possibly. Partners at firms not on the approved list may still qualify through the general Legal Professionals Package — available to all practising solicitors and barristers with a current practising certificate. We assess both pathways and recommend the suitable option for your situation.

How is partner income assessed for a home loan?

Partner drawings, profit share distributions, and trust income are assessed under specific self-employed income verification rules. We have extensive experience presenting partner financials to lenders in a way that correctly reflects your income and maximises your assessed borrowing capacity.

Can the loan be in my spouse's name or a family trust?

Yes. The Partner Package policy permits applications in the partner's own name, a related company or trust entity (with direct ownership or directorship by the partner), or in the spouse's or a related entity's name — provided the partner is involved in the transaction at least as a guarantor.
