Closer, a Canadian legaltech platform built to streamline real estate conveyancing, has expanded into Alberta.
Founded in London, Ontario, Closer provides an all-in-one platform that helps lawyers and conveyancers manage the legal work involved in purchases, sales, refinancings and property transfers. The company says its software is already trusted by more than 600 law firms.
The move into Alberta extends Closer’s reach beyond its established Ontario market and brings its technology to legal professionals across Western Canada.
Closer combines matter management, document production, client intake, electronic signatures, title searches, title insurance and mortgage processing within a connected workflow. Its automation tools can extract information from purchase contracts and populate new matters, reducing manual data entry at the outset of a transaction.
For Alberta firms, the platform includes access to the province’s land registry data, allowing users to search for and purchase title certificates and registrations without relying on separate software. Land title information can be synchronized with the corresponding matter, while search fees are automatically added to financial statements.
The platform also includes customizable checklists, document templates, automated filing and integrated DocuSign capabilities. Closer offers firms complimentary document onboarding and allows them to adapt workflows and templates to match their existing processes.
Mortgage work can be managed through Closer’s mortgage inbox, including receiving instructions, preparing requests for funds and submitting final reports. Its Sync service supports digital mortgage processing for major Canadian lenders, including RBC, TD, BMO, CIBC, National Bank, First National and several others.
Closer has also built an Alberta-focused team with professionals who have experience in the province’s real estate legal sector. The company’s staff now includes account executives serving Southern and Northern Alberta, along with onboarding, document and client-support specialists familiar with local conveyancing practices.
The platform is available as a standalone product and through an integration with LEAP Legal Software. Through LEAP, firms can connect Closer’s conveyancing workflows with practice management, accounting, billing and client management tools.
Closer’s Alberta launch marks a significant step in the company’s Canadian expansion as it seeks to modernize a legal process that remains heavily dependent on repetitive data entry, disconnected systems and document-intensive workflows.
