First Class Legal last week became the first legal firm in Melbourne to complete a property settlement electronically through the new national PEXA system.
PEXA is an electronic settlement exchange for property, and is owned by the State governments and the major banks. It is the long overdue new national system for property settlements and is in many ways state of the art worldwide.
This milestone transaction cements First Class Legal at the forefront of the industry and reinforces its leadership position for innovation, quality and foresight.
Below is the press release from PEXA and First Class Legal.

“First Class Legal today became the first legal company in Melbourne to conduct an electronic property settlement transaction through PEXA.
We are delighted to embrace the new technological benefits offered with PEXA’s electronic settlements.
