Law firms and conveyancers

Company checks for lawyers and conveyancers

On almost every commercial matter there is a company to confirm. A quick, repeatable check keeps the file clean and the entity right.

The risk

Acting on the wrong entity, or missing a change in a party's standing, creates risk for the client and the firm. The checks are routine, but doing them by hand across sources is slow.

Key facts

  • Confirm the exact legal entity and NZBN named in the matter.
  • Check current status and any factual flags before settlement or signing.
  • Keep a dated record of what was checked on the file.
  • Monitor the entity through a long running matter.

Faster than searching each source

A single report brings the public record together, so the company check that supports your due diligence takes a few minutes rather than a tour of separate sites.

A record you can keep on the file

Each report is a clear snapshot you can save to the matter, which shows what was checked and when. This supports your own process and is easy to revisit.

Questions and answers

Does Checkbase replace my own due diligence?
