Legal
Trust accounts, privileged files and settlement-day fraud.
Law firms move large sums on settlement day and hold privileged material. That makes them a consistent target for payment redirection and mailbox compromise.
Situations we help with
Settlement-day bank details
On the morning of a settlement, an email “from the other side’s conveyancer” provides new account details for the funds.
What helps: A verbal verification rule for every change of payment details, email protections against look-alike domains, and practice for the people who process payments.
A lost laptop with client files
A solicitor’s laptop is stolen from a car, with matter files synced locally.
What helps: Disk encryption, central file storage, and device management that can lock or wipe the laptop remotely.
A former staff member still has access
A paralegal left three months ago, but their account is still active and still receives client email.
What helps: A joiner–leaver process that disables accounts promptly, and a regular review of who has access to what.
Depending on your business, privacy obligations such as the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme may apply when personal information is involved. Whether they apply to you, and what they require, is a question for your legal or compliance adviser — we can help you get the facts together for that conversation.
