For solo and small-firm conveyancers
You didn’t get your licence so you could answer “any update?” forty times a day.
At forty settlements a month, status updates alone eat 12 to 20 hours of your month. The Conveyancer’s AI Admin Audit is a free 15-minute self-assessment that maps the 12 admin jobs in a typical matter, shows you which ones can safely run themselves, and puts a dollar figure on what you’re paying to do them by hand.

Here’s the maths nobody shows you.
Forty settlements a month. Say six status enquiries per matter across the life of the file — the buyer, the agent, the broker, the buyer again. That’s 240 interruptions a month you personally handle, at three to five minutes each once you’ve opened the file, checked where it’s actually up to and written something reassuring.
That’s 12 to 20 hours a month answering a question your own system already knows the answer to.
It isn’t the volume that wears you down. It’s that every one of those interruptions arrives while you’re mid-way through something that actually requires a conveyancer.
What’s inside the Audit
-
The 12-point matter map. Every recurring admin job from intake to post-settlement, laid out in the order it actually happens — including the four most firms forget they’re doing.
-
The Hours Leak calculator. Enter your settlements a month and see what status enquiries alone are costing you a year, in hours and in dollars at your own charge-out rate.
-
The traffic-light test. What you can safely hand to a machine today, what needs a human in the loop, and what you must never automate in a conveyancing file. This section is the one that matters — most AI advice aimed at legal skips it entirely.
-
The 20-minute morning. How firms running 40-plus settlements start the day with a single review screen instead of an inbox with 60 unread.
This is for you if:
- You’re a solo conveyancer or a firm of two to six
- You’re doing roughly 20 to 60 settlements a month
- You personally answer “any update?” emails
- You’ve thought “we should automate some of this” and then not had a spare weekend to do it
This isn’t for you if:
- You’re a large firm with a dedicated ops team already building this internally
- You want AI to give legal advice or make decisions on a file — that’s not what this is, and it’s not what it should be
- You’re looking for another piece of software to learn
What I’ve already built
Litigation Signals
Every morning it reads the day’s new Federal Court filings, works out who has been sued and what it is about, and puts a brief in subscribers’ inboxes before they start work. Nobody touches it.
A clinic’s booking agent
Answers the phone for an Australian clinic, takes the appointment, puts it in the calendar and confirms it. Running in production today. It replaced the receptionist’s least favourite two hours of the day — not the receptionist.
I haven’t been a conveyancer. What I’ve done is build the plumbing for other people in the legal world for years, and when a conveyancer walked me through her week the shape was identical.
Who’s behind this
I’m David. I build and run AI systems for Australian firms — the appointment-booking agent answering the phones at a Sydney clinic, and Litigation Signals, the legal-market intelligence brief that reads the court filings overnight and is in subscribers’ inboxes before they start work.
Conveyancing is where I keep seeing the same thing: skilled people spending their day telling other people where a file is up to. That job doesn’t need a conveyancer. It needs a system that already knows the answer.
I’m in Sydney, and I answer my own email.
Common questions
Is this actually free?
Yes. No card, no trial. You give me an email address, I give you the Audit.
Will you call me?
No. If you want to talk you can book a time yourself. I don’t cold-call people who download things.
Is this going to tell me to replace my staff?
No. The Audit is about the jobs nobody wanted in the first place — status updates, chasing, reminders. The judgement work stays with people.
Does this work with PEXA, InfoTrack and my practice management system?
The Audit is system-agnostic — it maps the jobs, not the software. When it comes to actually building it, yes, that’s the normal starting point.
What do you do with my email?
Send you the Audit and a weekly email. Nothing else. I don’t sell or share lists. Full detail on the privacy page.
