Rice Tong Real estate transactions are among the most document-heavy, stakeholder-driven legal processes. From managing due diligence to coordinating sign-offs and delivering polished closing binders, these deals require tight coordination, real-time updates, and error-free execution.
Despite this, many law firms still manage deals using a combination of Word, Excel, email chains, and shared folders. While familiar, these tools aren’t built for complex transactions—and they leave too much room for inefficiency, miscommunication, and risk.
Here are five reasons why a transaction management solution like Legatics is essential for your real estate practice:
- Stay on top of document updates
Real estate matters often involve hundreds of documents, all of which need to be tracked, reviewed, and organized. Managing these in shared drives or email threads quickly becomes unmanageable.
With a dedicated transaction platform, all your documents live in one place – structured, searchable, and accessible to everyone who needs them. You reduce duplication, eliminate version control issues, and save hours on looking through documents.
- Keep all parties aligned
Real estate deals rely on coordination with lenders, planning consultants, local authorities, and other third parties. When updates are buried in email chains or lost in phone calls, it delays progress.
A transaction management platform creates a shared workspace for collaboration. Whether it’s a surveyor uploading reports or a lender signing off on CPs, everyone stays aligned in one place – with automated notifications to keep things moving.
- Execute and close with confidence
Signatures are often the final hurdle before closing. Using separate tools to coordinate signature pages creates unnecessary friction and delay.
Legatics includes an integrated signing module, so lawyers can manage sign-off directly from the platform. Once signed, documents can be dropped straight into a structured binder – no exporting, no re-uploading, no stress.
- Deliver a professional binders in minutes
Compiling closing binders manually can take days. Drafting an index in Word, tracking down the right files, and packaging them into folders is labor-intensive, especially under time pressure.
With Legatics, lawyers can generate a fully formatted, export-ready closing binder in just a few clicks – saving time and freeing up teams for higher-value work.
- Impress your clients amid competition
Clients expect transparency, responsiveness, and a seamless experience from their legal advisors, especially in high-value real estate deals. When updates are delayed or communication is scattered, client confidence can suffer.
A transaction management platform like Legatics improves the client experience by providing clear visibility into deal progress, reducing response times, and ensuring accuracy in every stage. With faster updates, better coordination, and a clean handover at the end, you leave a lasting impression.
