When you Move is a modern property law firm which is tailored to deliver exceptional client service. It uses a proprietary CRM/case management platform alongside a consumer-facing mobile app for continuing transparency throughout the property transaction.

The company was co-founded and is operated under co-founders Peter Goodman and Simon. They began by discussing how the process of property buying and selling lacked transparencies as other industries. The complete process revolves around lawyers, but they were not always very good at controlling the flow of communications on a regular basis.

 

After much research and understanding, they came to a conclusion that technology could assist the legal team to do so.

Therefore, they started on this idea to build the solution themselves and gain a permit to practice Conveyancing law.
