Jared Zak is the Principal Solicitor and founder of Dott & Crossitt, and brings over 20 years of experience in law and finance. After graduating from the University of Sydney with First Class Honours in Law and a Bachelor of Commerce (Economics and Finance), Jared began his legal career in Japan, followed by senior roles in Sydney and London—including as a solicitor at Mallesons Stephen Jaques, and later as Head of Secured Funding at Santander Bank in the UK.
In 2014, Jared established Dott & Crossitt with a vision to build a client-centric law firm focused on genuine engagement and reducing the stress associated with property transactions. At its heart, the firm was founded on the belief that buying a home is a pivotal life event—and that the legal support behind it should be accessible, human, and exceptional.
Under Jared’s leadership, Dott & Crossitt has grown from handling just five transactions per month to now managing more than 500 per month across six offices. The firm has consistently delivered outstanding service, as reflected in over 1,000 five-star Google reviews. From 2022 to 2024, Dott & Crossitt held the #1 ranking in New South Wales for volume of conveyances completed, and ranks among the top five firms nationally.
In 2023, Jared led the successful negotiation of Dott & Crossitt’s acquisition by Local Agent Finder, which settled in 2024—marking one of the largest M&A deals in the Australian conveyancing sector. Jared is a recognised thought leader in the conveyancing industry, advocating for greater recognition of conveyancers and the critical role of conveyancing, while also leading discussions on innovation and the impact of AI on property law.
