Compliance Issues

Every small firm has the same compliance issues as larger firms. LEAP helps you by ensuring that you have all the resources available to get on with practicing law in the knowledge that if your staff are using LEAP Office properly you will meet your obligations.


Recovering Costs - Form 60A
Of particular application to Queensland lawyers is the new Form 60A which must be used in order to submit a bill for assessment before being entitled to recover costs under the bill.

This important new form is available with LEAP Documents 6.3 or higher. 


Trust Regulations - Trust Investments and Estate and Power Money Registers

The national Legal Profession Regulation http://www.austlii.com.au came into force in Queensland on 20 April 2008.

It introduced a number of changes to meet long standing practice methods in Queensland including:-

Trust Investments - different to Controlled Money, Trust Investments have different compliance requirements.

Register of Estates and Powers - this new Register was also introduced to limit claims associated with Powers for which a register was not previously required.

Power Money Transactions - this is a ledger card of all transactions performed under a Power.

LEAP Accounting was the first system in Queensland to cater for these requirements. 


The Lexon Conveyancing Letters - minimise conveyancing risks!
Managing risk is important for individual lawyers and the profession as a whole. To limit claims for negligence in the handling of conveyancing matters, by arrangement with LEAP Publishing, Lexon have made the letters available to users of LEAP Office for a minimal $1 registration fee. Because the letters are coded to work with LEAP, you get all the great productivity benefits of producing these letters in the same way as all other conveyancing documents and correspondence. The final documents are also, of course, automatically saved to the Electronic File maintained for each matter in LEAP Office.
