Max Paterson

Co-founder

Before co-founding Settify, I was a solicitor at one of Australia’s leading family law practices. The inspiration for Settify came from the firm belief that technology should make the law faster, easier and more accessible and enhance the human connection between lawyers and clients. I was nominated twice by the Law Institute of Victoria as ‘Rising Star of the Year’ and hold a Law Degree with First Class Honours from Melbourne University.

Co-founder

As Settify’s co-founder, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to combine my passions for software development, law, finance, and business administration – call that my day job. I wrote the code for the original Settify system and now serve as ‘the oracle’ for our dev and rollout team.

As Settify has grown around me, I now enjoy spending more hands-on time with my family.

Paul Psaltis

CEO

For as long as I can remember, I have always been a computer geek. This came in handy once I realised a career in law wasn’t for me!

I’m passionate about all things legal tech, and over most of the last two decades, I’ve been fortunate enough to work at some of the best legal tech companies in the world while being mentored by some of the best industry leaders.

I look forward to helping Settify scale into a global phenomenon.

As the Global Head of BD, my goal is to make things happen! At Settify, I work with a fantastic team, great partner firms and end-user clients.

I’m in my happy place when making great connections and improving operations. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that I’m forever trying to help people or learn as much as I can about everything!

Head of North America

As a family lawyer, I recognized that technology could play an important role in improving the client experience. That’s why I couldn’t resist joining the team; the lure of working with such brilliant minds and creating products that would modernise legal practices was too much.

In 2018 I launched Settify in the UK. Success spurred my move to Toronto with my now wife and dachshund, taking Settify to Canada and the US.

Gemma Reading

Head of United Kingdom

Before joining Settify to head up the UK office, I practised family law at a top tier London firm. Witnessing the difficulties clients often experience and the benefits of Settify’s technology, it was an easy move. At Settify, I educate practices about the advantages of adopting innovative technology to meet society’s defining trends, desires and customs. My goal is to challenge the archaic tendencies of our profession.

I’m driven to ensure that Settify continues to be the leading client intake system globally.

Experience within a preeminent Wills & Estates team (Australia) and as in-house Counsel (Singapore) for a global trust company, I believe that firms should create a modern client experience while maintaining personalised legal service.

I am an Accredited Specialist in Wills and Estates in Victoria.
Fun fact: I enjoy the race to find the 9-letter word!

Head of Finance

Brett Doolan

Head of Finance

Given my passion for effectively building scalable finance functions in high-growth entities and businesses, taking on the Head of Finance role at Settify was a natural and progressive step. A Chartered Accountant for over 25 years, Settify engages my experience, giving me the platform to provide operational and strategic inputs across executive teams.

While not counting the beans at Settify, I’m running around after my two very active sons, attending to home renovations or watching the odd game of rugby league or union.

At Settify, no two days are the same, and I am excited to have the opportunity to play a role in delivering positive marketing solutions.

When not wearing my Settify hat, I love listening to true crime podcasts.

My mission is to lead work that enables people and organisations to thrive. From planning to facilitating strategy and change, my focus is to ensure timely and smooth Settify rollouts.

When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my two-year-old, cooking new recipes for the family, running home improvement projects or enjoying a cup of filter coffee outdoors in my city, Bangalore.
