What Reviewers Are Saying
DATA PROTECTION -- AVOID THE RISKS OF NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THIS LAW SOCIETY TOOLKIT:
INCLUDES ACCOMPANYING CD-ROM
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
In any legal practice, data, namely client data must be kept secure. The duty of confidentiality doesn’t merely loom large; it is a law firm’s number one priority. The financial and reputational damage caused by lapses can be severe and the consequences dire.
All staff, including juniors, warns the author, Alison Matthews, need to understand and apply the basic concepts of confidentiality, data protection and information security.
Recently published with the authority of The Law Society, this toolkit is purpose- designed to help them do just that.
With its accompanying CD-ROM, the toolkit delivers the information you as a practitioner need to ensure that your firm complies with data protection legislation. Especially useful are the precedents and templates which are easily adaptable to individual requirements. These are of course are included in the CD-ROM for further ease of use.
Matthews is a leading UK-based compliance consultant and an expert on money laundering and professional conduct. Her specialist experience in this area includes serving as a member of the Government’s Money Laundering Advisory Committee. Taking primarily a risk-management approach, her advice is detailed, yet clear, concise and accessible. Legal practices, she explains, should consider the points in each of the book’s chapters, with emphasis on applying them in a risk-based and proportionate way as appropriate to their risk profile, the type of work they do and, of course, their clients.
Similar to the Law Society’s admirable selection of useful toolkits in many other areas, this is a practical guide prepared with the needs of the busy practitioner in mind. It is as appropriate for sole practitioners as it is for large firms.
Whatever the shape and size of a law firm, it must always prioritize risk management. This toolkit aims to assist solicitors in implementing the procedures and systems which will demonstrate their compliance with their regulatory obligations.
Produced in handy paperback format, it will work wonderfully as an everyday reference source, especially for compliance officers for legal practice (COLPs) and compliance officers for finance and administration (COFAs).
The Law Society has expressed the hope that this new title, as well as their other toolkits, will be placed in the ‘must-have’ (or actually, ‘must purchase’) category for most or indeed all law firms.
Matthews also advises that further assistance in meeting data protection obligations is available online through the Law Society’s Risk and Compliance Service.
