What Poweredbypie does

Poweredbypie is a UK-based legal technology and conveyancing services provider operating as a trading name of Dye & Durham (UK) Limited, headquartered in Reading with a registered office in London. The company serves law firms and conveyancing professionals through an integrated platform combining property searches, title insurance placement, anti-money laundering compliance, document management, quote and referral software, and a managed concierge service for complex transactions. Its product architecture is structured as a subscription-based core platform (Brighter Law) augmented by transaction-fee services (Searches, Title Insurance, AML, Online Ordering, Concierge, Funds to Collect) and software add-on modules (Brighter Estimates, Document Portal, Quote Management).

The platform is built on Microsoft Azure infrastructure and is embedded within at least seven major UK Case Management Systems (intouch, Actionstep, Easy-Convey, Redbrick, Advanced, Eclipse, Linetime), enabling law firms to order searches, generate quotes, and manage documents without leaving their practice management environment. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on property searches and insurance placement, subscription fees for the Brighter Law software suite, commissions on title and legal indemnity insurance (with over 35 AA-rated policies available), and managed-service fees for complex transactions handled through the Concierge offering. Distribution combines a self-serve online ordering platform (pie-cloud.co.uk) with account-manager-led enterprise sales.

The company was formed through the merger of search provider PSG and legal technology firm poweredbypie, consolidating regulated search capabilities (Search Code, PSG badge), FCA-regulated insurance intermediation, and technology under one group. It reports processing more than 3 million individual transactions annually, positioning it as a high-volume infrastructure layer within the UK conveyancing market.
