Ajilon Electronic Conveyancing Project Makes e-Awards Finals

Earlier this month, Ajilon's Electronic Conveyancing (EC) team celebrated the news that their Land Exchange (LX) project for Victoria's Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) had been named as a finalist in the national e-Awards.

The Federal Government created the e-Award for Excellence in e-Government in 2006 to promote excellence in the use of information and communications technology across all levels of Australian Government.

Ajilon's Rick Dixon, Project Manager of the EC System, said the e-Awards showcase the best in ICT innovation within the public sector.

“They're really a way of highlighting the benefits of e-Government projects and the positive impacts they're bringing about for members of the Australian public and business community,” he said.

“Ajilon's been partnering with the DSE since 2002 as its primary management consultancy on the LX project, so we were pretty happy when the Victorian Government submitted LX into the 2008 e-Awards. Then we found out early May that LX had made it to the finals. It's been a real coup for our team, and obviously the exposure has been great for Ajilon's brand too.”

Along with Rick, Ajilon's EC team includes James Walker, General Manager of LX, Ian Brenner, EC Release Manager and PMO Manager and consultants Sophie Benkemoun, Patricia Santo Domingo, Anna-Marie Eagleton, Michael McLean and Brent Fuller.

Frequently Asked Question

Question: Should buyers and sellers use the same conveyancer(CPC)?
Answer: There is nothing legally wrong with using the same conveyancer (CPC), however, the AIC does not recommend this practice. Your conveyancer (CPC) is working for you and to give you the best advice and guidance throughout your transaction.
It is not always possible to give a buyer and seller the same advice and a conflict can arise. Sometimes these conflicts are only small but can have a large bearing on your transaction and it is not always possible to predict when a conflict may arise. The small amount of savings made, if any, when using the same conveyancer (CPC) will not balance out the risks that are potentially huge. Large delays can be experienced if the conveyancer (CPC) cannot continue to act for either party if a conflict of interest arises.
Remember that conveyancing is not just the filling out of forms and attending to stamp duty payments. This may be the largest transaction of your life and you will want to know that your conveyancer (CPC) is acting in your best interests and not compromising with someone else's at the same time. Have comfort of mind by using your own CPC.
