Infolegal is delighted to be able to announce a forthcoming major update to its service.
We have become aware that with many firms needing to manage staff remotely, and with remote working likely to become a more common feature of practice in the years to come, that what would otherwise be relatively easy compliance tasks when office-based become far more problematic when staff are working from home.
To address this, Infolegal is updating its compliance software to allow firms to manage their compliance more effectively and easily.
Due to be released in November, with a number of additional resources following shortly afterwards, the updates will provide member firms with a range of compliance and firm management tools to help them to:
- monitor the extent to which the firm is compliant across the firm;
- maintain registers such as key date, undertakings, approved contractors, subject access requests, complaints and many others;
- record key data about the firm including office holders, management responsibilities and supervisors;
- keep a repository for departmental information and the firm's own precedents and documents;
- carry out risk assessments and risk registers;
- undertake monthly COLP and COFA checks;
- manage personnel related issues including appraisals, staff absence records, holiday requests systems, etc.; and
- provide a firm alert/bulletin board;
The revised service will also feature
- a simplification of the means by which regulatory information can be accessed on the Infolegal Compliance Hub;
- a revised training system; and
- greater flexibility for administrators in deciding who within the firm can have access to which of the resources.
Given that this is a major update to the service we offer, we will of course be providing all members with more information over the coming few months as well as outlining how firms can make the most of the revised resources.
