Speed of transactions has been a hot topic for years and Ed first talked to front line practitioner Peter Ambrose in Dec 2020. So what has changed, if anything, in three years from a conveyancing perspective?

As CEO of The Partnership, with 48 lawyers and assistants, as well as a software business Legalito (making tried and tested conveyancing software available to all), Peter is well placed to comment and usually doesn't hold back.

There's some good empirical data in this discussion, as well as some home truths. Given the substantial amount of hot air delivered on the subject, an objective overview of what's REALLY happening 'behind the scenes' is overdue.
