Platform aims to connect lenders, brokers and borrower representatives to improve settlement efficiency
Melbourne-based national law firm Purcell Partners, the provider of legal services to the banking and financial services sector, has officially rebranded to Lextech as it sharpens its focus on technology-led mortgage processing.
Serving approximately one-third of Australia’s lenders, the Lextech delivers specialised legal services and technology solutions across the mortgage lifecycle, from origination and processing through to financial settlement.
The privately owned and operated Australian firm has expanded its national footprint while building a mortgage-processing platform that connects lenders, brokers and borrower representatives, enabling loans to move more efficiently through to settlement.
Lextech chief executive Jason Popkowski (pictured) said the new branding reflects the firm’s evolution into a legal-tech leader and its strategic focus on combining mortgage-processing legal services with advanced technology.
“For more than three decades, we have earned the trust of lenders across the country by combining deep legal expertise with the latest technology innovation,” Popkowski said. “Today, we are building on that foundation, investing in advanced technology that simplifies complexity, enhances transparency and enables lenders to operate with greater certainty and control.”
Positioned as a specialist partner to banks and lenders, Lextech’s platform is designed to bring together lenders, brokers, borrowers and their representatives in real time, streamlining the journey from approval through to settlement.
By leveraging automation, electronic mortgage documentation, open API integrations into existing banking platforms and guided digital signing, Lextech aims to reduce friction and improve accuracy, giving lenders greater certainty at scale.
“Lextech reflects the business we have become, a modern legal-tech partner built for the future of lending,” Popkowski said. “By combining award-winning local legal experts with world-class technology, we are creating smarter, faster and more secure loan processing, while delivering more transparent, intuitive borrower experiences.
“As expectations continue to rise, our focus remains on equipping lenders with the tools, insight and legal confidence they need to grow, while ensuring borrowers benefit from a simpler, more seamless path to settlement.”
