How it works

The contract-review workflow, end-to-end.

Deed structures a conveyancing matter as a five-stage workflow your firm can live in. Every stage is transparent, auditable and editable by the firm.

Intake

Create a matter from a firm template, with auto-fill for matter title, client name, property address and ABN, pulled from the contract. Or upload an existing contract in DOCX, PDF or scanned form.

02

AI review

Deed reads the contract clause by clause, extracts the Section 32 and contract details, runs the firm's rules and drafts an advice letter, with comments anchored to the right clauses.

03

Lawyer review

Accept, reject or amend each flagged issue. Keyboard shortcuts (j/k/a/r/s, plus 1 to 5 for severity filters) for solicitors who live in the contract; everything works by click too.

04

Sign-off

Status moves Not started → In progress → Ready for sign-off → Signed off. A matter can't go out for signature until a partner has signed off. Every action is captured in the matter history.

critical
Section 32 vendor statement
Checks whether a Section 32 vendor statement has been provided. Under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic), the vendor must provide this before the contract is signed.
warning
Section 32 completeness
Checks whether the Section 32 vendor statement covers all required sub-sections: planning, zoning, owners corporation, services, building work, bushfire overlays.
info
Cooling-off period: 3 business days
Explains the cooling-off rights for non-auction residential sales. Under the Sale of Land Act 1962 (Vic) s 31, the purchaser has 3 clear business days.
critical
Cooling-off period waived (non-auction)
Flags when the cooling-off period has been waived but the sale is not at auction. This is unusual and the purchaser should understand the consequences.
warning
Deposit percentage check
Checks whether the deposit exceeds 10% of the purchase price. Victorian law does not cap the deposit, but amounts beyond the standard 10% warrant explanation.
warning
Deposit balance trigger
Checks whether the deposit balance is due on a fixed date rather than upon unconditional contract. Fixed-date triggers can cause issues if finance is delayed.
warning
Settlement period reasonableness
Checks whether the settlement period is shorter than typical (30 to 90 days). Short settlement periods may not allow enough time for finance, conveyancing or due diligence.

How we validate Deed

Every release is checked against real legal reviews.

We test Deed the way you would test a new solicitor: against work that has already been done properly. Every new version reviews real contracts, and we compare what it found with the advice a practising lawyer sent to the client on the same contract.

The latest release matched the lawyers' reviews 100% across contract details, issues raised and advice sections. We don't ship a release that doesn't pass.
