Most registry modernization projects fail the same way. We’re here to change that.

The Land Administration Company (LAC) offers the only land administration platforms built to meet a jurisdiction where it is today and grow with it, without new contracts, new risk, or new vendors. We’ve done this before. We know what breaks. And we’ve built platforms around fixing it.

We know the destination.
We know the journey.

Our team has spent decades delivering land administration programmes across every size of jurisdiction, every legal framework, and every stage of modernization. We built LAC around that experience, so the path forward is never uncharted.

Who we Serve

No two registries are the same. Neither is our approach.

From a First Nations community in Canada to a national registry in the United Kingdom, our team brings firsthand experience across the full spectrum of land administration. Every size. Every legal framework. Every stage of the modernization journey.

Our Team

The Software is Only Half of it.

Every failed registry modernization has the same problem. Not the technology, but the journey. Our team has delivered some of the most complex land administration programmes in the world. We know where the assumptions go wrong, and we have built our methodology to ensure they don’t.

Darin Nielsen

Chief Executive Officer

Darin co-founded LAC with Dean Nielsen after decades leading land administration programmes worldwide. Their conviction: modernization fails when technology outpaces the people and processes behind it. As CEO, Darin brings that conviction to every engagement.

Dean Nielsen

President and CFO

Dean co-founded LAC with Darin Nielsen after decades in land administration and global business development. Lasting modernization needs local understanding, global experience, and the right partner. As President and CFO, he brings all three.

Steve Smith

Chief Technology Officer

Steve joined LAC’s founding team with decades of engineering and operational leadership across land programmes in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australasia. He’s delivered the world’s most complex registries. As CTO, he turns boardroom promises into field realities.

John Chisholm

Executive Chairman, Director

Craig brings rare perspective to LAC: he’s been on the other side. As BC’s Land Titles Director, he led a $20M transformation from paper to digital. He joined LAC because he knows what that journey takes. As COO, he ensures LAC delivers leadership that makes it stick.
