Case Study: Gilbert + Tobin achieves faster, more accurate PPSR due diligence and fewer write-offs with SAI Global’s Encompass

Gilbert + Tobin - Customer Case Study

Gilbert + Tobin, a corporate law firm with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and more than 500 staff, faced mounting due diligence pressure from the Personal Property Securities Act as the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) grew rapidly. Searching the PPSR for every entity in a corporate group was time-consuming and risked increasing unbillable hours, so the firm turned to SAI Global’s Encompass to streamline searches and maintain accuracy.

SAI Global implemented Encompass as an end-to-end PPSR solution, enabling Gilbert + Tobin to combine all group entities into a single workspace and consolidate search results into one spreadsheet while providing source data and documents. Encompass significantly reduced the time needed to search and review PPSR records without any loss of accuracy, lowered billable hours written off, freed lawyers for higher-value work, and gave the firm confidence that no significant security interests were overlooked.
