Conveyancing is broken - but not for the reasons that many think. And technology has only made it worse.
Our house is our most valuable asset - and yet many law firms have resisted making the same investment in their systems and processes - instead attempting to improve profitability by entrusting the process to unqualified (but cheaper) staff.
LEXcelerate turns this on its head - by re-imagining the entire process in extra-ordinary detail, utilising the latest, best-of-breed technology, and ensuring that all stakeholders in the process are considered, we have built an new type of case management system - one that redefines the way that law firms operate.
This isnt a "shiny new app" - this is a fundamental shift in thinking that delivers exceptional performance for the client, a refreshing working environment for the fee earner and substantial benefits to brokers, estate agents and lenders.

DigitalCNC is a digital machining intelligence company spun out of the University of Sheffields Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). We help aerospace and defence manufacturers make smarter decisions earlier, reducing costly scrap, rework, and machine trials before a single chip is cut.
Our physics-based simulation and optimisation platform gives CAM programmers and process engineers the insight they need to predict machine specific behaviour, analyse toolpaths, and compare machine performance with confidence. Where traditional approaches rely on expensive shop floor trials and hard-won experience, DigitalCNC brings that intelligence upstream, into the planning stage where changes cost nothing.
We work with the worlds leading aerospace manufacturers, helping them protect tight tolerances, reduce machine trials, and get complex components right first time.
Pushing decisions left. Making machining predictable.
