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In a traditional setup, a single mistake, such as a missing signature, an outdated form, or a misplaced file, could delay closing day.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