Compliance is of paramount importance for all law firms. In addition to keeping abreast of the ever-changing regulatory environment, firms also need to be prepared for new risks that are associated with doing business in the modern digital workplace. The penalties for getting compliance wrong can be severe and can include heavy fines as well as reputational damage.To ensure that you are fully aware of the latest issues, and to help you to create a compliance culture within your firm, LexisNexis has developed a series of five new online training courses addressing the most pressing current topics in compliance, covering GDPR, AML, the new SRA Code of Conduct, social media and business continuity planning. The courses are all delivered by subject matter experts and presented in an innovative video format to increase viewer engagement. They will be particularly relevant to anyone with a compliance or practice management function and other senior managers within a law firm.
