Every Realtor knows the moment. The paperwork is done, the buyers are anxious and everyone’s waiting for the lawyer’s call. Sometimes it comes fast. Sometimes it drags. What makes the difference often isn’t the people, it’s the process.

Across Canada, law firms are modernizing how those moments play out. A quiet technology shift is taking hold inside the legal side of real estate. It is speeding up closings, reducing errors and giving clients and agents a smoother path to the finish line.

The shift beneath the surface

For decades, most real estate law offices ran on a mix of paper files, local servers and manual data entry. Each deal meant juggling emails, forms and follow-ups across disconnected systems. That model worked until it didn’t.

Today, more than 6,000 Canadian legal professionals are using LEAP Legal Software, a cloud-based platform that brings all of those systems together. It is part of a global network of 44,000 users and over $22 billion in invoiced transactions, built to help law firms work faster, safer and with fewer moving parts.

How Closer in LEAP conveyancing works

LEAP combines case management, document storage, email organization, billing and trust accounting into one secure workspace. For real estate firms, its integration with Closer means every stage of a deal, from the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to closing, can be managed in a single workflow.

Artificial intelligence plays a practical role. LEAP’s built-in tools can extract data from scanned or annotated purchase agreements in seconds, perform remote identity verification, and connect directly to services like Lender Lawyer Connect, title insurance, and mortgage providers.

All data is stored on Canadian servers through Amazon Web Services that meet SOC 2 compliance standards. That level of security matters in a business built on client trust.

From chaos to clarity

In a traditional setup, a single mistake, such as a missing signature, an outdated form, or a misplaced file, could delay closing day.

LEAP’s system reduces that risk by keeping every document, deadline and update in one place. Automated forms and real-time synchronization mean that if one team member updates a client file, everyone sees it instantly. 

The result is a workflow that feels less like chasing details and more like guiding them. It is not flashy technology. It is an invisible infrastructure that helps a transaction move without friction.

Built for Canada, backed by innovation

LEAP operates locally through its Canadian offices in Toronto and Vancouver. Every detail, from legal forms to compliance tools, is designed for the Canadian legal system. The company invests more than $20 million annually in research and development, continuously refining the software with regular updates and user feature requests.

That combination of local knowledge and global technology has earned LEAP recognition in the 2025 Canadian Lawyer Readers’ Choice Awards for its cloud-based practice management tools.

​Conveyancing has always been a detail-heavy business. Verifying clients. Running title searches. Preparing documents. Coordinating with lenders. Every step takes time. Every delay costs money. And for most firms, the process still relies on manual data entry, multiple platforms and endless back-and-forth.

Here’s the question that matters:

What if your next 10 transactions could move from signed APS to settlement without a single bottleneck?

Why paperwork is still the biggest slowdown

Even the most experienced conveyancers spend hours retyping details from APS documents, updating calendars and checking that every client and property record is accurate. Meanwhile, clients expect speed and visibility. One slow response or one missed detail can set a transaction back and put your reputation at risk.

In Ontario, the demand for affordable, efficient conveyancing is rising. Buyers, sellers and lenders all want closings to happen faster. The challenge is that many conveyancers are still working with fragmented systems that slow down every step of the process.

Clients won’t wait

Today’s buyers and sellers are online, informed and used to real-time updates. A delayed response is no longer just inconvenient. It can mean losing a client to a competitor who has built a faster, more efficient workflow.

So how can conveyancers deliver on that expectation without adding more staff or overhead?

The answer: automation that feels like an extra set of hands

Closer, built directly into LEAP, is designed to manage end-to-end conveyancing in one place. Client verification, title searches, insurance, mortgages and document generation all happen inside a single matter.

Closer’s 100+ pre-built templates let you produce professional documents in minutes. Its AI-powered data extraction pulls key information from your APS automatically, saving hours of manual entry. All details — dates, client records, property information, even accounting data — sync directly with LEAP. No double entry. No errors. Just smooth, accurate workflows from start to finish.

Think of it as a 24/7 assistant who never makes mistakes, never slows down and keeps every transaction on track. The result is simple: faster closings, happier clients and more time to focus on high-value work.

No system overhaul required

Closer integrates seamlessly with LEAP and your current processes. You don’t need to rip and replace your tech stack. Your team keeps working in the tools they know, while Closer takes care of the repetitive, time-consuming tasks behind the scenes.

For most conveyancers, the benefit is immediate: more completed matters, fewer errors and a workflow that scales with demand.
