Introducing the new Bay City Legal and Conveyancing Group
For over 20 years, Toni Blackwell & Nick Spanninga have worked together providing conveyancing and legal services in Melbourne, Geelong & the Surfcoast. For the last ten years, they have operated their business exclusively as a Legal Practice. While this brings many advantages over simple licenced conveyancing businesses, it creates limitations within the new world of electronic conveyancing. The challenge for Nick and Toni was to create a business structure that allowed them to maintain their businesses together and take advantage of each of their skills, qualifications and talents for the future.
With Toni a Certified Practicing Conveyancer and having both the experience and qualifications to hold a full conveyancing licence, it was decided to set up an allied operation alongside the legal practice, so that Toni could hold a conveyancers licence within a separate business unit, while Nick could maintain the legal side of things alongside the licensed conveyancing business.
We now have Bay City Legal Property Law within which Nick conducts his client conveyancing matters and other legal work outside the scope of a conveyancing business, and Bay City Conveyancing Specialists within which Toni and Geoff conduct their conveyancing focused matters. This provides a more robust structure, with back up available from each business to the other under the new structure. Nick will still conduct conveyancing matters under the “Bay City Legal” brand, with Toni & Geoff handling sales and purchases under the “Bay City Conveyancing” brand.
