Did you know? 65% of law firms faced cyber incidents*. And 30% of buyers have experienced property fraud*.
With Action Fraud recently revealing that between April ‘24 and May 25’ there were 143 cases of conveyancing fraud resulting in £11.7 million in losses with an average loss of £78,393 per case* supported by analysis from Lloyds Bank that found in 2024 victims of conveyancing scams lost £47,000 on average, with some losing more than £250,000*. Fraud is clearly an ever-growing concern, with schemes and attacks becoming more sophisticated.
Which is why this International Fraud Awareness Week this November, we’re bringing together regulators, insurers, technology and legal practitioners for five focused webinar sessions.
The aim of these sessions is to explore the industry’s current challenges and how we can address them together, through stronger processes, tools, and a more secure digital experience.
