About the Webinar
Protecting against cyber-crimes means more than just having up to date firewalls and solid IT protocols. Most of the time, it is human error which allows fraud to be perpetuated. The property law market is a high-risk area for social engineering, phishing, scams and fraud. With the rise of AI it has never been easier for emails and property law documents (including Power of Attorneys and written instructions from clients) to be forged. Property lawyers need to be informed and alert to be able to identify the risks and understand what steps can and need to be taken to avoid facilitating and being an inadvertent accomplice to fraud and cyber-crimes in everyday practice. To help upskill property lawyers in this regard, this session shall:
- Take a deeper dive into how scams and fraud are currently perpetrated in the property law sector including the risks inherent in e-conveyancing transactions
- Identify the various steps at which the risk should have been identified by those in a legal practice - what systems/policies should be present to facilitate this?
- Explore the practicalities of verifying client instructions and source of funds in the current e-conveyancing platforms
- Look at the practical steps property lawyers should be taking to properly identify and respond appropriately to scams and fraud
