How we can help
We provide extensive risk management services. We can help you:
Prepare risk assessments, your risk register and risk appetite statement, including identifying emerging risks
Understand risk controls and mitigations, and how to implement these on a proportionate, cost effective basis
Develop legal compliance risk strategies in key areas such as AML, cybersecurity, data protection, outsourcing back office functions and systems, and SRA rules
Create policies and procedures to implement the controls and mitigations
Create and test disaster recovery and business continuity plans
Train your people to understand risk, how it affects their work, and how they can avoid poor decisions when faced with risky situations
Ian, who has extensive practical experience of legal risk management, leads our risk services. He teaches risk management and risk governance to solicitors and other compliance specialists for the Law Society of Scotland. Ian has also written for the Law Society Gazette and the Solicitors Journal on the subject.
By using innovative, but trusted, methods from the wider risk management world that we have adapted for smaller law firms, we will advise you on the steps that you can take. Some risks (like the pandemic) you cannot avoid, but you can build operational resilience to ensure that you keep delivering your services and so protect your clients, employees, firm, and the profession.
