CONVEYANCING THEATRE THURSDAY

The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) was established in 1985 to


foster competition and innovation in the conveyancing market. Today,
we are still helping legal businesses thrive by finding new ways to meet
changing customer expectation.
Our approach is to support firms to achieve compliance and to accommodate different ways of working where we can. Our
experience as a specialist regulator of conveyancing and probate allows us to tailor our regulation to those areas of property law.
This history, approach, and experience may explain why CLC regulated firms have grown to enjoy a market share of transactions
that is far greater than their numbers would suggest.

Criminals attack and infiltrate the legal sector every day.


From Friday fraud, vishing, phising, email hijacking and locky
ransoms, through to ever more sophisticated attacks. Listen
as we highlight an anonymous case study about how one
firm learnt from being the victim of a 35,000 conveyancing

you can do to protect and prevent your firm from also being
a victim.

This session will cover current AML policy issues relating to

come with complying with AML rules. The UK will shortly
be assessed by the global AML standard setter (FATF) on the
effectiveness of its regime. This, alongside the transposition
of the fourth EU Money Laundering Directive, has led to
almost all facets of the UKs AML regime being currently under

Many firms claim to view technology as a key enabler for


differentiation and driving profitability, however leadership
in said firms continue to express frustration that their ever
increasing technology spend is not delivering the promised
business value, but why? Simon Thompson explains why firms

Interest in employee advocacy on social media has grown

in the world of digital communications right now. But what
are the elements that can make or break your employee
advocacy programme and how do you know if your

How do you ensure your clients capital allowances position
is maximised? Are you protected from your clients if they
subsequently discover they have missed out on tax savings

Cybercrime...Ignorance Is No Defence!

Stop Contract Management and


Non-Compliance Hurting Your Firm

Alastair Murray
Director, The Bureau

Alastair demonstrates a now not uncommon


hack of an office network and how simple it is to fall
victim to these scams. Staff are increasingly vulnerable to
phishing fraud where a familiar email address of a supplier
or work colleague is cloned to encourage them to do what
they would not normally doclick on that emailed link or
attached Word file!

James Courtis-Pond
Founder & CEO, AnyData Solutions

Learn why your firm should care much more about its
enterprise-wide contracts! Contracts govern over 80% of your
transactions. Failure to have instant visibility of them causes
cash to leak out of your firm and staff inefficiencies. Contracts
are often your first line of defence to ensure compliance
with the Modern Slavery Act 2105, or Anti-Bribery Act or
Data Protection Act, or the Small Business, Enterprise and
Employment Act 2015.

HOW TO
GROW YOUR FIRM
BETWEEN REFERRALS
Referrals may still be your
practices primary source of
new clients, but how many
clients are you missing out on
while you wait for the next
referral?
Consider this: A stunning 97%
of people will research local
professional services online before
making a purchase decision and
new survey data shows that law
firms that arent using online
marketing tactics are missing out
on desirable work, regardless
of their reputation or ability to
complete that work (sources: BIA/
Kelsey; Alyn-Weiss).

WHY THIS
MATTERS TO YOU
You now need a strong digital
presence in order to be found
(and found first) when potential
clients are searching for your
services.
Where law firms have
traditionally been dependent
on existing relationships to
generate new business, new
survey data shows that the
majority of clients are bringing
their cases to firms that they find
and research online without a
recommendation or referral from
a friend, colleague or lawyer
(source: Alyn-Weiss).

This explains why 77% of


professional firms now depend on
their online presence to generate
new business leads (source: Hinge).

authority and earn new clients


between referrals.

The fact is, with increased


competition from increasingly
marketing-smart practices, youre
slowing down your entire firms
growth when you dont have
systems in place to attract, respond
to and convert your best prospects
into clients.

You can break this process down


into 3-steps; Attract, Respond,
Convert.

GROW YOUR FIRM


BETWEEN REFERRALS
New marketing isnt about
shouting louder than your
competitors (and tarnishing your
professional reputation in the
process). Instead its about being
more helpful and offering up the
genuine expertise that your ideal
clients need.
Strategic online marketing not
only brings you a consistent
stream of pre-qualified enquiries
(i.e. people who are looking
for the services you offer and
are ready to become paying
clients), it also ensures that
your firm grows predictably and
sustainably.
When done correctly, new
marketing ensures you never
miss an opportunity to engage
prospects, establish your industry

WHERE TO START...

To attract your best clients, your


firm should be producing original
content for your website and
distribution channels. This is an
opportunity for you to build your
firms authority and ensure that
youre front-of-mind whenever a
potential client needs your services
(Google rewards your original
content production with higher
search engine rankings).
By automating your lead nurturing
processes using a marketing

automation platform, youre able


to respond instantly with highly
relevant and personalised content
whenever someone shows interest
in your firm.
These processes ensure that your
firm attracts a consistent stream
of qualified enquiries who have
been pre-warmed on your services,
making it easier for you to convert
them into paying clients.
Importantly, these processes free
you from the feast/famine cycle
of regular law firm life... busy one
month, then hunting for revenue
the next.

CYBER SECURITY
- TIME TO ACT
Recent high profile data breaches have ensured cyber security is again a hot topic of discussion amongst
law firms. And despite the best efforts of organisations to secure their systems, criminals know the
weakest point is typically the individuals using the system, not the system itself.
Its important to train everyone
in a firm, from senior partner to
secretaries and fee-earners to
support staff to recognise threats
and understand how to reduce
the risks of a serious breach,
which might actually cost more in
reputational damage than stolen
data or a clients money.
But its time the focus switched
to practical advice, rather than
just news of more impending
problems. At Quiss we deliver
advice and training to staff at
many law firms to help cut the
risks, with best cyber security
working practices including but
not limited to these helpful hints:

PC & LAPTOP
SECURITY




Lock your PC when you leave


your desk.
Do not store private/sensitive
information on your desktop
or in unsecured local folders.
If you receive an anti-virus
alert, immediately report it to
the helpdesk.
Do not install any software/
apps that have not been
specifically authorised.
Read any on screen alerts
and understand them. Dont
just click on them to get rid
of them!
Shut down your PC at the
end of the day (to ensure
updates are automatically
installed).

the surface of the complex
challenge cyber security poses
for law firms in this always-on,
digital world, where criminals
are developing ever more

SPECIALIST WEB DESIGNS
FOR PROFESSIONAL FIRMS
Best known for its work in the UK Insurance and Financial sector, The Bureau is one of the most
experienced Website designers in the country. Having published hundreds of sites, from simple 2
or 3 page promotional ones to large and complex back office databases and secure online trading
platforms, there is not much The Bureau does not know about creating compelling Websites and
e-marketing campaigns.

SECURITY AT
ITS HEART
The Bureau has put cyber security
at its heart. Security breaches
in big companies make easy
news but for small to medium
sized ones the threats are only
beginning to be recognised. The
Bureau has forged a partnership
with the National Cyber Skills
Centre (NCSC) and the cyber risks
vulnerability assessor DEPH Risk
and their partners to bring security
to the heart of its solutions and its
client businesses.

UNRIVALLED
EXPERTISE
Since its formation around
20 years ago The Bureau has
developed unrivalled expertise
in creating stand-out Websites,
individually designed by its team
of highly skilled programmers.

Supporting these it provides


robust Web server facilities, all
UK based, to deliver fast and
secure online marketing and Web
trading for its clients throughout
the country.
The Bureaus knowledge of
industry regulatory and compliance
regimes is its trump card. Having
a Web designer who understands
your business makes all the
difference, resulting in a product
that is accurate, relevant and
compliant.

E-MARKETING
SKILLS
Using powerful e-campaigning
software and in-depth analytics,
client e-campaigns are scrutinised,
evaluated and refined to foster
ever closer and reliable client
relations. The Bureau driven
e-campaigns are helping its clients
develop stronger and more reliable

client connections, encouraging


greater loyalty and valuable referral
business.

AHEAD OF
THE GAME
The Bureau has remained ahead
of the game by developing tools
and services for its clients to help
them stay a step in front of their
rivals. The need to be mobile
friendly, sociable on Twitter and
Facebook, and to have one or
more branded business Apps are
all addressed by The Bureau.

CYBERCRIME
INITIATIVE
The Bureau has been busy with its
industry colleagues to address the
growing incidence of cybercrime.
Whilst much talked about, many
firms remain uncertain about what
threats they face. Ever the one

to keep ahead of the pack The


Bureau has joined forces with The
National Cyber Skills Centre and
DEPH Risk, based in Malvern, who
provide a programme of tailored
and practical cyber training courses
for staff and managers and are
working closely with The Bureau
to deliver workshops and formal
courses for its clients and other
professional firms.
No single company can expect
to deal with all the threats
that cybercrime poses and it is
collaborative initiatives like this
that will help meet the many
challenges ahead. The knowledge
and expertise of the NCSC and
DEPHRisk and the day-to-day
experiences and commercial
connections of The Bureau
combined are set to deliver a
series of jaw dropping cybercrime
presentations to give audiences the
motivation and skill to keep their
staff, clients, data and good name
safe, secure and crime free.

commercial bills and group
litigation. Our Bills are regularly
assessed in the Senior Court Costs
Office and we have built up strong
relationships with Costs Counsel
based at Ropewalk Chambers and

payments that have been agreed
have not been received within the

We also work closely with a
number of firms who provide
disbursement funding and WIP
drawdown facilities at the point
the Bill of Costs is served. The
monies released are usually in
the region of 70-80% of the
realistic value of the Bill of Costs,
which means that our Clients
cannot be held to ransom by
third parties who think that they
might under settle claims simply
for cash flow purposes.

ENHANCING
YOUR CLIENT
DUE DILIGENCE
The Money Laundering Regulations state client due diligence should be undertaken using a risk
based approach. Is the Internet an option for a firm faced with a higher risk client?

The challenge of the MLRO is


to make an assessment of the
different clients their firm may
deal with. From this, an approach
must be developed to say how the
available sources of information
should be used to undertake due
diligence at the right level for the
right client.
To assist a firm in getting to know
more about their client, many
systems and databases exist. These
offer information covering a variety
of areas such as sanctions and PEP,
ID verification, and adverse media.
After all of these available systems,
there is another option which
should not be overlooked.
The Internet contains a wealth
of information and is growing
daily. Whilst it is unlikely to be
able to replace the proprietary
data services, it is a valuable
tool to have available and can
complement the other sources
well. In recent years the use of

must consider the
constantly changing
nature of the
information
available.

open source intelligence has


grown as more and more people
tap in to this source of knowledge.
Best of all, anyone can use it and
it is free.
Making use of the Internet to
undertake research on a client
may seem like a straight forward
task. There are very few people
around who are not accustomed
to a search engine. However, there
are a few basics that should
be put in place to ensure
a productive process and
prevent employees spending
a lot of time circling the
Internet.
Firstly, learn the basics of
Internet searching. Whilst
search engines do their

best to make searching straight


forward, there are some issues.
Enter the name of an individual
or a term in to a search engine
and a number of modification and
assumptions are made. In general,
this is a good thing and in day to
day use may help find what you
are looking for. When conducting
due diligence this isnt the best
option when the aim isnt to return
as much information as possible,
but is to return information
that targeted and specific to
your needs.
Next, define a structured
approach that can be use every
time there is a need to use
the Internet to carry out due
diligence. This provides a firm
with a replicable process to ensure
a consistent approach to their
research. The structure also gives
a defined framework preventing
using the Internet from becoming
an open ended consumer of staff
time. The simplest way to achieve
this it to think about and define
your goals before the first search
is made. From all the information
available, what is it that you are
looking for?
Any researcher using the
Internet must consider the
constantly changing nature of
the information available. Do

not rely on any information found


being available should it need to
be found again. Consider how
to capture and store anything
identified which is relevant to
your due diligence.
If you are interested to learn
more, Darren Hickman is running
a seminar at LegalEx. He will be
looking at the use of the Internet
for due diligence and providing
further information on the points
raised in this article.

ComplianceAssist provide
a range of services to help
clients meet their due diligence
requirements. Come and see us
at stand L246.

We understand legal professionals


face unique challenges daily...
And the need to remain connected at all times is imperative... to enable you to
operate efficiently. Whether at home, in court or at the police station you need access to
your practice network; access important documents, have use of business critical applications and be able to access emails. A unified communications platform enables you to
operate on, and off premise through business intelligent communications systems. BDR
are able to design and implement a solution tailored specifically to the needs of your
practice, whilst supporting your remote working strategy. But how?...
Time is money... efficiency and productivity are key to maximising time, especially for
those who bill in six minute increments. Call logging and call recording are just two
applications we can implement to maximise your billing efficiencies.
Mobility and flexibility... Be more efficient and productive by always being present, or
appearing to be so, through call forwarding. Perfect for those involved in active cases.
Communications management... through unified messaging better manage your
emails, faxes and voicemail. All are equally important and can reduce administrative costs.

Come and see us on stand L556 or come along
