Hire an offshore conveyancing paralegal for your Australian conveyancing practice
An offshore conveyancing paralegal handles the document-heavy work behind every Australian property settlement — preparing contracts, running title searches, coordinating PEXA settlements, and managing the conveyancing file from instruction to keys. Through Lite-Force, they're employed properly via an EOR structure with payroll, compliance, and HR support included. Most hires are live within 2–4 weeks.
Day in the life
A day in the life of an offshore conveyancing paralegal.
Typical responsibilities:
- Contract preparation — sale and purchase contracts from precedent across NSW, VIC, QLD
- Title searches and certificates — running searches and ordering planning certificates
- PEXA workspace management — opening, populating, balancing, and progressing settlements
- Client correspondence — chasing documents, providing status updates, answering routine queries
- Cost agreement and trust accounting prep — under supervising solicitor or conveyancer
- Settlement coordination — liaising with banks, agents, and other side's representatives
- Post-settlement — discharge and registration follow-up, file closure
- File administration — keeping LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep, or PEXA records audit-ready
Why offshore
Why conveyancing paralegal work suits offshore.
Conveyancing is precedent-driven and procedural.
Every file follows defined steps — contract, exchange, settlement, registration. Once your offshore paralegal knows your state's process and your precedent library, they execute consistently file after file.
Conveyancing tech is cloud-based.
PEXA, LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep, GlobalX, InfoTrack, Triconvey — all browser or cloud-hosted. Your offshore paralegal works in the same matters as your in-office team.
Timezone overlap supports settlement timing.
Philippines hours align with Australian business hours. Settlement-day coordination, lender follow-ups, and PEXA workspace management happen in real time — not on overnight delay.
Better firm profitability per file.
Local conveyancing paralegals cluster $80–110k in Sydney. Offshore paralegals let smaller practices maintain profitable file volumes without burning out the principal solicitor.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can offshore paralegals practise conveyancing in Australia?
No — and they don't need to. Offshore paralegals do precedent-based document preparation, file management, and coordination under the supervision of your admitted Australian solicitor or licensed conveyancer. Signed advice, exchange, and final settlement authority remain with your local licensed practitioner.
Do they know PEXA?
Most experienced AU conveyancing paralegals do. PEXA workspace setup, balancing, and progressing through to settlement is standard. We screen specifically for PEXA experience during sourcing.
How is professional privilege and confidentiality handled?
Same as a local paralegal — under your firm's supervision, NDA, role-based PMS access. Their work product is yours, prepared under your supervision, and falls under your professional and conflict frameworks.
Can they handle state-specific differences?
Yes for the states they've worked in. Most experienced paralegals know NSW, VIC, or QLD; some have multi-state exposure. Confirm state mix during scoping so we source accordingly.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Replacement commitment within the initial engagement period. If accuracy or fit isn't right, we source again at no additional placement cost. Details confirmed in your service agreement.
