About the event
This seminar is available as a Webinar Only
It is now common for lawyers and support staff to be working outside of the ‘office’ whether because of agreed flexible work practices or on an ad-hoc basis. Either way, issues arise that need to be addressed by the practice to ensure confidentiality, risk minimization and staff safety.
Topics include:
- Duties as an employer- safe workplace
- Confidentiality…where is the risk and how to minimise
- Supervision of staff particularly Graduates and Restricted Practitioners
- Use of Technology to assist with remote work and dealing with risk
- Record keeping…risk of incomplete records, using phone, SMS, printing
- Firm culture…leading by example and setting the tone
- Communication issues and best practice for remote teams
