The Conveyancing Office:
Delivering detailed advice while reclaiming work-life balance
The challenge
The solution
Lisa recognised she needed a solution that would help her work more efficiently without compromising the quality of her professional service. She chose to implement Curia Contract Review, conveyancing workflow software with integrated AI.
Curia provides instant, reliable support with contract analysis, risk identification, and clause interpretation, available 24/7 to handle workload fluctuations. Most importantly, it allows Lisa to focus on what she does best: providing strategic advice and client advocacy, while the platform handles the time-consuming analytical groundwork.
The implementation
The transition to Curia Contract Review was smoother than Lisa anticipated, though it required an initial shift in mindset. As a licensed conveyancer accustomed to reviewing every detail manually, handing over the first phase of the review process to technology required trust.
"The main challenge was learning to trust the output enough to let go of my usual manual process," Lisa explains. "I'm used to reviewing every detail myself."
Once Lisa saw how accurate the reviews were and how well they aligned with her own professional judgment, that hesitation quickly faded. The implementation process was straightforward, and Lisa found herself integrating Curia into her workflow with confidence.
The results
The implementation of Curia Contract Review delivered transformative results for The Conveyancing Office:
The impact of implementing Curia was immediate and substantial. Lisa's average contract review time dropped from 60 minutes to just 30 minutes, a remarkable 50% reduction that transformed her practice capacity.
"I found myself spending significantly less time on each review, yet the quality of advice I delivered to clients remained just as strong," Lisa notes. "It was like gaining hours back in my day while still feeling completely confident in every recommendation."
When asked about the most valuable feature of Curia for her conveyancing process, Lisa identified Data Extraction without hesitation. A recent contract review demonstrated exactly why this capability matters.
Lisa reviewed a contract where the title had a large number of registered dealings, easements, restrictions, and covenants, the kind that could easily overwhelm a client or obscure key risks. With Curia, the platform identified every registered dealing and provided clear, plain English explanations for each one.
"Curia turned what would have been a time-consuming review into a streamlined, client-friendly process," Lisa explains. "I could quickly assess which dealings were standard, which posed risks, and which required further investigation. Instead of spending hours decoding title entries, I was able to focus on strategic advice, flagging concerns, recommending next steps, and ensuring the client understood how each dealing affected their intended use of the property."
What surprised Lisa most in the first month was the accuracy and thoroughness of Curia's contract reviews, particularly in identifying risks, explaining clauses in plain English, and even recommending the same amendments she would typically advise.
Lisa still checks every review for peace of mind, maintaining complete professional control over the final output. "I usually find very few changes are needed," she says. "Occasionally I'll refine the tone or add client-specific context, but that's minimal compared to the time I used to spend drafting everything from scratch."
Lisa maintains complete control, she can modify anything she wants, while benefiting from Curia's efficiency in handling the analytical groundwork. The platform has freed up time and space in her day, allowing her to support clients more thoughtfully and manage her workload with less pressure and stress.
Perhaps the most significant transformation has been personal. With Curia streamlining the time-intensive aspects of contract review, Lisa has reclaimed hours in her day.
"The best thing about finishing work earlier is having the freedom to focus on my health and be truly present for my children and for myself," Lisa reflects. "I've reclaimed hours in my day. That means more time for rest, movement, and connection, and more space to support my clients without feeling pressured to rush off the phone and back to the next task."
This shift represents more than just improved efficiency, it's a sustainable practice model that allows Lisa to take on more matters without compromising either the quality of service or her wellbeing. "It's a shift that's made both my practice and personal life more sustainable and fulfilling."
Looking ahead
Curia Contract Review has become an integral part of how The Conveyancing Office operates. The efficiency gains enable Lisa to handle an increased workload without sacrificing quality or personal wellbeing, while the sophisticated data extraction and analysis capabilities ensure she continues delivering the detailed, strategic advice her clients expect.
