ISSUE IN BRIEF
It’s little surprise that business behaving badly should be a big focus for our new prime minister in her first 90 days – but this comes during a particularly
difficult year for the law firm image. Just months after the Mossack Fonseca data leak set off security shockwaves in April, the threat of naming and shaming will once again thrust the broad challenge of reputation management
right to the fore.
A law firm’s reputation risk really underlines the importance of the ‘joined up’ business that Briefing so likes to preach. Bridge the gaps so you don’t slip between them. Caring and sharing effectively doesn’t just make a firm more efficient – it creates more transparency internally to pick up on key areas of compliance weakness, or indeed transgressions, that simply must be tackled.
