What Dott & Crossitt does

Dott & Crossitt (legal entity Property Legal Pty Ltd) is an Australian conveyancing and property law firm founded in 2014 by Principal Solicitor Jared Zak in Richmond, NSW. The firm offers end-to-end residential property conveyancing services for buyers and sellers across all Australian states and territories, supplemented by standalone fixed-fee contract review services ($350 incl. GST for conveyancer review of existing properties; $500 incl. GST for solicitor review including off-the-plan), property transfer services, independent legal advice, and Queensland seller disclosure statement preparation. Underlying these services is a proprietary Digital Conveyancing Dashboard that provides real-time milestone tracking, document management and pending-action visibility for clients, complemented by an AirID mobile application launched in 2019 that enables estate agents to perform VOI-compliant identity verification. Operations are delivered through a network of 10 physical offices spanning NSW (Norwest, Sydney, Mudgee, Blaxland, Central Coast, Newcastle), Victoria (Melbourne), Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast Nerang, Gold Coast Coolangatta) and Western Australia (Perth), supported by a toll-free 1800 sales line, online quote requests, and a referral channel through partnerships with McGrath, Ray White, Local Agent Finder, Before You Buy, Smartmove and Own Home.

The business model is sales-led, fixed-fee professional services with no disclosed subscription or recurring component. Revenue is generated on a transactional, pay-as-you-go basis per matter, with value derived from completed settlements, contract reviews, transfers and ancillary legal services. Marketing relies on SEO-optimized location pages, an Info Hub of 30+ content articles on property law changes, free client tools (disbursements, stamp duty and transaction-cost calculators), Google review accumulation, and a monthly newsletter. The firm claims 50,000+ lifetime settlements, $30 billion+ in property value transacted, 1,350+ verified 5-star Google reviews, and a #1 ranking in NSW for PEXA electronic settlement transaction volume. Since 2024, Dott & Crossitt has operated as part of the LocalAgentFinder (LAF) Group, with LAF Limited as the ultimate holding company, providing access to a broader property-ecosystem lead funnel while the firm retains its operational focus on conveyancing.

The firm is a proprietary limited company domiciled in Australia, privately held with no disclosed venture or private equity backing beyond the LAF group affiliation. Customer concentration is highly distributed across individual SMB consumers (first-home buyers, investors, and residential vendors), with no enterprise or single-customer revenue dependency. Compliance posture is governed by Australian Privacy Principles with cross-border data handling disclosures covering the US, EU, Canada, New Zealand and several Asia-Pacific jurisdictions, overseen by a Head of Compliance & Practice Excellence with 30+ years of conveyancing experience.
