Top Five Highest Ranking Digital Law Firms

Chadwick Lawrence are now one of the top five highest-ranking digital law firms, according to the Digital Conveyancing Summit. We also come out third nationally for mid-sized firms.

The Digital Conveyancing Maturity Index, first initiated this year by the Digital Conveyancing Summit, is used to highlight the benefits of adopting new technologies to conveyancing firms. It also tracks a firm’s progress and breaks the data down into a Digital Maturity Score. The average score for participating firms in 2022 is 43%. We scored an impressive 84%.

The Digital Conveyancing Summit is a hub of leading experts in the digital field, who provide cutting-edge information and guidance around technology that helps people work smarter.

The index found that Chadwick Lawrence performed well across the board and took full marks in two areas – post-completion and new business. The report says: “Their attitude toward adopting the latest digital tools for conveyancers has been particularly strong from the start of a transaction, using dedicated portals to digitise their clients’ onboarding process, not only for their ID verification, Source of Funds checks and TA forms, but also for the entire new business management process from the very first interaction. This sets the tone for the level of technology clients can expect throughout their transaction and has led to enhanced security and risk mitigation.”

It also found that the firm’s appetite for innovation has seen us become early adopters of newer digitised processes, including digital contract packs and portals that centralise and manage the enquiries process. This adoption also extends to digital dashboards that provide more transparency so the firm can identify trends earlier, manage key dates, and quickly extract reports, significantly reducing hours spent on administration.

At Chadwick Lawrence, we embrace change as part of our culture. We believe that using technology is integral to how we serve our clients. Head of IT Dan Bell says: “It’s an ethos we relentlessly pursue by creating exceptional experiences, outcomes, and growth for the clients we work with and the people we work alongside.”

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and inspired to see how our digital technologies are serving our clients.
