LegalStream started life in 1970 as Burkhart & Company. As a law stationer and legal agent, we established strong relationships and a solid reputation with the legal community and government departments.
Since then our business has evolved and expanded and, in 2004, the legal corporation LegalStream was created. Our services now extend to end to end mortgage processing for lending institutions as well as support services to mortgage brokers and financial advisers.
Our reputation for consistently high standards, innovation in service delivery and strong customer focus is based on an impressive track record: LegalStream has provided continuous mortgage processing services for mortgage originators and brokers – including for four major bank lenders – since 1997 and is subcontractor to more than 300 law firms.
