MSA National is a national law company with over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry, providing mortgage documentation and settlement services to funders, mortgage managers, and originators. MSA National does not outsource any part of its process and has end-to-end service capability in each state capital, managed and supervised by a national director. This local expertise is very important in managing title issues, complex matters, and risks that are often state-specific.
Our national system provides online tools for tracking and reporting and can fully integrate with clients for instructions and back-channel messages, which maximises STP. Combined with our team of friendly and responsive staff, MSA National is able to deliver service levels that are consistent, high-quality, and solicitor-certified. We make continuous investment in our people, processes, technologies, and services, which allows us to continuously improve service and customer experience.
MSA National’s client-centric and service-oriented culture, coupled with our mantra of “Think Nationally and Act Locally”, has allowed us to develop strong long-term relationships with local, regional, and national clients.
MSA National has recently launched a new service supporting the complex documentation requirements in relation to lending to SMSFs, and they are an active member of the steering committee for e- conveyancing.
Who we are:
MSA National (formally known as Mortgage Settlements Australia) is a national law company created through the merging in 2005 of the mortgage divisions of McKays Solicitors (Queensland), Makhoul Symond Lawyers (NSW and ACT), Watson Lawyers (Victoria), Clark Whyte Lawyers (Western Australia), and Kelly & Co (South Australia and the Northern Territory).
In 2007, the group expanded with the incorporation of the mortgage division of Wallace, Wilkinson, and Webster in Tasmania.
Mortgage Settlements Australia rebranded to MSA National in 2013 to emphasise two important points:
-
- National Capabilities with Local Focus – Our company has an office in each State capital, each with a full end-to-end service capability. This helps us support our clients nationally whilst retaining our focus on local expertise, local responsiveness, and service excellence.
-
- Product Diversity – MSA National does more than just mortgage settlements. We offer a diverse range of legal services for the finance industry. Our range of services includes mortgage documentation, coordinating and attending mortgage settlements, undertaking mortgage recoveries, reviewing SMSF documentation in support of SMSF lending, and providing advisory and compliance services.
