Conveyancing Conflicts & Confidentiality - The Pitfalls for Support Staff

Introduction

Conveyancing support staff are the backbone of most conveyancing departments. They are under constant pressure to provide updates and information about a conveyancing transaction. This means that they must understand the importance of conduct issues that bind their regulated employers. This webinar covers issues relevant to both CLC and SRA regulated firms.

Avoiding breaches of confidentiality and being able to recognize a conflict of interest are two key risk management areas for conveyancing firms and the risk can be even higher when staff are working at home.

This practical webinar will give support staff in conveyancing teams an introduction to the key aspects of these two crucial areas of professional conduct.
