No chasing. No complaints landing back on your desk. An experienced set of hands, fixed fees, and service that makes you look good.
Why Nextstep
Why refer to us?
We built nextstep around a simple idea: your clients deserve a real lawyer, and you deserve a referral partner who never lets you down.
01
Your reputation, protected
Every file is handled by a qualified solicitor, so your clients get one point of contact who knows their file inside out. When they have a question, they get an answer. When you need an update, you get one.
02
Fixed fees, no surprises
$1,600 + GST and disbursements for a sale. Same for a purchase. That's it. No unexpected invoices at settlement. Your clients know exactly what they'll pay from day one (and so do you when you recommend us).
03
Get rewarded for every referral
Every settled referral earns you a $400 reward on a prepaid Mastercard – reloadable, simple, and paid promptly after settlement. No complicated tiers, no minimum volumes, no conditions buried in fine print.
Our approach
How we work
One lawyer. One file. Start to finish. Every transaction is managed by the same solicitor from first instruction to settlement.
A real lawyer on every file
Principal-led legal practice, not a conveyancing factory. Every file is personally managed by a qualified solicitor with major law firm experience. Your clients get genuine legal expertise, with contract review, risk identification, and advice that actually protects their interests.
Technology-assisted, human-focussed
Technology handles the admin so the lawyer can focus on the law. Automated milestone updates, intelligent document workflows, and AI-assisted contract analysis mean faster turnarounds, without replacing the human care, judgement and attention your clients are paying for.
Proactive by default
You shouldn't have to chase your client's conveyancer. We keep agents and clients informed at every stage, not because they asked, but because that's how it should work. If something needs attention, we raise it early. No surprises at settlement.
Our Partners
Who we work with
We work with professionals who care about what happens after the referral.
Real estate agents
Your listing is only as smooth as the solicitor allows. We prepare clean Section 32 statements, turn around contracts quickly, and keep the transaction moving so your sale doesn't stall. When issues arise, we respond – fast.
Buyer's advocates
Your clients are trusting you to protect their purchase. We conduct thorough contract reviews, flag risks clearly, and give advice that's practical. When your client needs to move quickly on a property, we're ready.
Mortgage brokers
A slow conveyancer can kill a finance timeline. We understand that mortgage approvals have expiry dates, and we work to keep settlements on track. Your clients get a lawyer who coordinates with you, not one who works in isolation.
