Vow Financial launches Vow Legal
Financial services group Vow Financial has branched out further, launching a legal service to its mortgage broker network.
Vow, which earlier this year launched a financial planning service and insurance service, has formed a joint venture with national legal firm Astill Legal Group.
Astill offers online conveyancing, and the partnership will allow Vow to roll out the service to its broker network, as well as services around estate planning, self-managed super, wills, business and corporate law, according to Vow Financial head of marketing Matt Mitchener.
The service will feature standard pricing nationally, which for most brokers will be lower than what their current solicitor would be charging, Mitchener said.
