Emma Baddaley, Key Relationship Manager from Lawyer Checker & Today’s Conveyancer will talk about the threat of Cyber Crime and Fraud. Emma will discuss the risks associated with the transmission of funds, email modification fraud and other relevant threats which cause concern to law firms. Although the focus  of the discussion will be around conveyancing, there is a very real risk within other legal departments where there is any transmission of funds; such as during the execution of a will, the award of compensation in an accident claim and so on.

Dealing with the increasing threat from the environment and how you can mitigate these risks.

An often misunderstood and overlooked environmental risk, ground hazards (for example, mining activity, natural subsidence, sinkholes or many more) can adversely impact any property/land transaction. This can severely affect property and land through damage, loss of quiet enjoyment and loss of value and thus impacts all parties involved within a property/land transaction. With a recent increase in the volume and visibility of sinkholes, subsidence and resultant growing industry/public media interest, the risks can no longer be avoided.

Learn how Terrafirma can assist your risk management of these ground hazards and how interpretation of data is essential to accurately identify and act upon ground risks, with relevant case studies demonstrating where the risks have been missed.

This presentation will cover:

• A brief introduction to UK mineral extraction and natural ground stability hazards
