Cyber awareness training for law firms

Your firm runs on privileged communications, client funds and confidential instructions. Attackers know it. We train every fee earner and staff member to catch the attacks that filters miss, and we measure the change.

Why law firms get targeted

These are the attack patterns we train against in this sector, drawn from live campaigns rather than textbook examples.

Spoofed client instructions

Fake filing notices, forged client emails and compromised counterparty threads that redirect completion funds or harvest credentials at the worst possible moment.

Payment fraud in conveyancing and M&A

Business email compromise targeting escrow and completion payments, where a single convincing bank-detail change can cost more than a year of fees.

Privilege and data exposure

Global firms have suffered ransomware and data-exposure incidents in recent years. For a firm, leaked matter files are not just a PDPA problem; they are an existential trust problem.

AI-enabled impersonation

Deepfake voice notes and AI-written spear phishing make "the client called to confirm" a dangerous sentence. Your people need to know the verification habits that hold.

The rules your people operate under

Training is the control every one of these frameworks expects, and our engagement report is the evidence they ask for.

PDPA

Protection and accountability obligations over client personal data, with staff training the first arrangement regulators look for.

Professional conduct

Confidentiality duties under the Legal Profession (Professional Conduct) Rules 2015 extend to how your people handle email, devices and files.

Client audits

Corporate and financial-sector clients increasingly send security questionnaires to their panel firms. Training evidence is a standard ask.

The national baseline certification expects employees to be equipped as the first line of defence. Our report is your evidence.

Legal questions, answered

Can you train fee earners and support staff together?

Yes, and we recommend it. Attacks enter through secretaries, finance and paralegals as often as through lawyers. We run mixed sessions with role-specific scenarios, or separate sessions per office where headcount suits it.

Do you cover our duties under the Legal Profession rules?

Yes. The compliance module maps everyday behaviour to your confidentiality duties under the Legal Profession (Professional Conduct) Rules 2015 and the PDPA, in plain language rather than legalese.

Our firm has under 50 people. Is this still for us?

Yes. Smaller firms usually start with a single half-day workshop with the phishing simulation and report included, and move to the annual programme if they want year-round reinforcement.

Will this satisfy client security questionnaires?

The engagement report documents what was trained, who attended and how behaviour measured before and after, which is exactly the evidence most client questionnaires and panel reviews ask for.
