 Legal Eye sponsor Professional Roundtable

Legal Eye sponsor Professional Roundtable

Legal Eye was pleased to sponsor the Today’s Wills and Probate Roundtable which took place in London last week.

Hosted by Solve Legal Marketing, the event was attended by over 20 experts from across the sector, all eager to discuss relevant issues facing the profession and listen to the specialist talks covering a range of key topics.

Sue Walsh of Corporate Professional Development delivered an engaging talk on the need to acknowledge client behaviour, highlighting that it can play a key role in improving the way we offer and deliver services to them.

Also speaking at the event was Legal Eye’s Managing Director, Paul Saunders (pictured), who focussed on the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation. As well as stressing the importance of the new regulation, he also focussed on how it should be seen as a positive opportunity for businesses, especially in regard to marketing. Rather than seeing it as a burden, Paul urged attendees to see the GDPR’s implementation as a chance to re-engage with clients, as well as something which demonstrates compliance. Whilst this is a factor which is rarely considered in regard to the GDPR, it’s one that should certainly not be missed.

As well as helping to ensure that you’re ready ahead of the deadline, the expert Legal Eye team can help your firm utilise the positive opportunities that this new legislation can provide.

Legal Eye works with law firms to ensure compliance and optimise performance. Their extensive and thorough knowledge of the law and regulations will ensure your law firm is compliant and your processes sound. Files are audited to ensure you are not only complying with the service level agreements you have in place, but very importantly, also the code of conduct.
They provide a documented audit trail which is firstly, a requirement of the code of conduct and secondly, essential for PI Insurance purposes and very often for CQS, Lexcel and other quality accreditations. This provides documented evidence of a proactive approach towards risk management. The advice they offer is clear and practical, and they pride themselves on exceptional customer service and unbeatable work quality. Services include:
  • Specialist expertise across the full range of regulatory, risk and compliance issues to inform your internal decision making.
  • Additional qualified resource where you simply do not have the time to review your regulatory position or to carry out essential ongoing tasks such as file reviews.
  • An online risk hub –  an online resource centre for law firms. The hub provides a comprehensive bank of resources to help COLPs, COFAs, partners, directors and managers to manage risk. It includes precedent policy and procedure documents and templates, access to online training on a range of risk and compliance topics, and a range of useful materials such as ‘how to’ guides, short videos and articles.
  • Drafting and review of key policies and procedures including the supply of ‘document packs’ to save you time researching and writing documentation.
  • Expert advice on how to comply with up-to-date regulation including the very latest requirements complete with a written set of recommendations.
  • Specialist outsourced complaints  handling service provided by former SRA and LeO officers.
  • Gap analysis of your firm’s policies, processes and procedures as they relate to the Solicitors Accounts Rules (SAR) including the production of a written report summarising the strengths and weaknesses of the current arrangements and detailing recommended next steps and actions to put your firm in an even stronger position.
  • Training on SAR and on anti money laundering (AML) as well as other finance-related training which can be delivered virtually for your firm, face-to-face (subject to government guidance) or online via Legal Eye’s Training Academy.
  • A Standard Procedures Manual to provide a practical and comprehensive roadmap for firms to follow when looking to double check whether the current operating procedures are fit for purpose, setting up a new firm – or arm of a firm – or starting a new finance function from scratch.
  • Experienced advice and support for one-off projects such as achieving quality accreditations or switching regulators.
  • Proven high quality training for fee earners and staff held at your office/s covering essential risk topics such as  Anti Money Laundering, data  protection, cybercrime, conflict of  interest and more.
  • Online training from The Legal Eye Academy – core modules available to all staff at their convenience. Includes built-in auto reminder functionality so that you no longer have to chase staff indi-vidually to complete important training. Your package includes free updates to ensure knowledge is always up to date.
