How a Leading Lender Fast-Tracked a Complex Commercial Loan Settlement in Just 24 Hours 

GreenTech Legal Services Deliver Speed, Accuracy, and Full Compliance

In today’s fast-paced world of banking and finance law, timing is everything—especially when dealing with multi-layered commercial loan settlements.

When a major lender approached GML with a high-value transaction requiring full legal execution and settlement within 24 hours, the pressure was on. The matter involved complex securities, multiple properties, and corporate guarantees—all needing to be legally verified, executed, and settled with zero room for error.

But thanks to GML’s automated legal workflow and GreenTech -powered systems, the deal was closed five minutes ahead of deadline.

The Challenge: Complex Commercial Lending Under Pressure

At 3:11pm on Monday 19 May, GML was formally instructed on an urgent commercial loan transaction. Settlement needed to occur by 3:00pm the next day.

This was no cookie-cutter brief. It involved:

  • A mortgage over the newly purchased property
  • Existing mortgages over seven separate properties
  • Guarantees from six corporate entities and one director
  • Compressed timelines and high-value exposure

A traditional legal approach simply wouldn’t cut it. Speed, precision, and digital execution were non-negotiable.

The Solution: Automated Legal Documentation & DocuSign Integration

By leveraging our tech-enabled legal services, GML executed the deal through a fully digital, quality-assured legal workflow that included:

  • Automated legal document generation
  • Real-time QA and data integrity checks
  • Fully digital execution using DocuSign
  • Seamless PEXA settlement preparation

Here’s how it played out:

  • 3:11pm (Mon) – Instructions received
  • 4:23pm – Searches completed and file opened
  • 6:27pm – Data uploaded into automated documentation system
  • 8:34am (Tue) – Documents finalised and QA checks passed
  • 11:02am – All security documents issued via DocuSign
  • 11:29am – Fully executed documents received
  • 1:10pm – Conditions Precedent cleared
  • 2:55pm – Final PEXA sign-off—ahead of the 3:00pm deadline
