NZILE's September conference

More than 150 legal executives from around the country attended the fifth national New Zealand Institute of Legal Executives (NZILE) conference in Auckland on 7-8 September.

Speakers covered topics such as estate planning, mortgagee sales, leaky buildings, negotiating, and the Property Amendment Act (2008).

As one of the conference sponsors, LINZ had a stand and handed out flyers on the common e-dealing rejection reasons with suggested prevention methods, and the process for transacting Maori land both of which are available on this website. The flyers were popular, and attendess took the opportunity to discuss the content and other issues.

For Julie Gillatt, LINZ's e-dealing Product and Service Owner, this was her second NZILE conference.

"LINZ has come a long way since our involvement at this conference three years ago, which mostly involved us demonstrating Landonline, and showing legal executives how to complete electronic dealings," says Julie. "Now we're shifting our focus to helping customers complete their e-dealings more effectively, especially the more complex transactions.

"We had some really good questions, and some enhancement suggestions, which I've taken back to the office for discussion. It's always good to talk to legal executives as they're the ones dealing with clients at the coal face, so it's great to hear their opinions and issues first hand."
