Every contract, every certificate, every settlement — on time.
Quillio reviews contracts of sale, reads section 149 and vendor statements, drafts special conditions, and keeps conveyancing files moving across AU jurisdictions.
Quillio is an AI legal assistant for Australian conveyancing lawyers and licensed conveyancers. I am trained on the state conveyancing and property legislation, the standard contract of sale forms used in each state, vendor statement requirements, and PEXA practice. Use me to review contracts, summarise section 149 and vendor disclosures, draft special conditions, and track settlement steps.
Why conveyancing lawyers use Quillio
Conveyancing is high volume and unforgiving — a missed cooling-off notice or overlooked s 149 zoning note becomes a claim. I read the whole contract and the whole disclosure pack in seconds, flag risks in plain English, and produce the file note that shows you spotted the issue. I am built for volume work without losing the attention to detail that conveyancing needs.

Questions conveyancing lawyers actually ask Quillio
Conveyancing FAQs
Does Quillio cover the standard contracts used in each state?
Yes. I know the 2022 ADL contract (NSW), the LIV and Law Institute contract (VIC), the REIQ contract (QLD), and the equivalents in WA, SA, TAS, ACT, and NT. I read and review all of them in their current form.
Can Quillio review a section 32 vendor statement?
Yes. I extract and summarise zoning, overlays, easements, notices, and encumbrances from Victorian section 32 statements. I flag material disclosures and anything that looks missing or inadequate.
Does Quillio understand PEXA and e-conveyancing?
Yes. I prepare the settlement statement, adjustments, and PEXA workspace checklist. I do not lodge on PEXA for you — a lawyer or conveyancer does that — but I produce the supporting work product.
Can Quillio draft special conditions?
Yes. Finance, due diligence, sale subject to sale, off-the-plan, FIRB-related, and bespoke conditions. I draft in your firm's voice and flag tension with the standard contract.

Yes. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Australian-hosted. Client ID, contract, and settlement data stays on Australian soil.
