Information Sheets that are matter specific are located in the LEAP Forms folder and Information Sheets that are relevant to a particular form are located immediately preceding the form.

We have made some necessary changes to your Sale and Purchase matter types for improved efficiency in your conveyancing matters.
Why?
We are continuing to work on a large project to change the functionality behind our forms to use our Word App entitled LEAP Document Manager (LDM). This change is necessary to make our forms compatible with Word Online.
These changes are in preparation of future enhancements to our LDM versions of the Settlement Adjustment Sheets/Statement of Adjustments (SAS), with the NSW SAS LDM due for release firstly shortly. Keep an eye on the Forms Blog for release notification. These enhanced versions will contain a time-efficient two-way write back functionality, whereby Directions (cheques) created within the LDM will automate directly to your LEAP matter and vice versa.
The write back functionality can however only map to ONE location in your LEAP matter and that is the relevant Sale / Purchase Reconciliation table. The Cheque Details table will therefore no longer default to any newly created matters.
Why write back to the Reconciliation table and NOT the Cheque details table? [Read more…]

LEAP are pleased to announce that with help from our clients, a new matter category has been created entitled Rural Law / Agribusiness.
Under Rural Law/ Agribusiness we have created two new matter types:
These matter types can be found under ‘Other Areas of Law > Rural Law / Agribusiness’.
These 2 new matter types have been based on the Sale/Purchase of Business, with a few tweaks. We have also added a new layout entitled ‘Assets/Property’. This layout is to capture the different aspects of property that can be sold/purchased with rural property and includes options such as:
A total for the amounts entered will appear on the Summary page of this layout and will also display on the matter when the layout is closed.
We have kept the Calendar & Tasks dates the same as the Sale and Purchase of Business however a couple of extras have been included as a result of client feedback which are:
All of which have confirmation tickboxes.
This new area of law is very exciting and has now been expanded to include South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
For our Tasmanian, South Australian, Northern Territory and Western Australian clients if you have any feedback that you would like to make regarding either of these new matter types, or some further matter types for Rural Law, the Content team would be interested to hear from you. We would also like your feedback as to any forms that you require us to create and code for use with these matters. Please email content@leap.com.au and we shall be in touch shortly.
