Last month, Norwel hosted a Special Interest Group with a regulatory and compliance focus. Risk Management in the legal sector is a key issue currently, and it seemed like an ideal opportunity to get a group of our clients with common issues together to discuss some hot topics and share our experiences and ideas.
The group was well attended and some interesting discussions took place about the difference in interpretation and approach to the SRA and HMRC changes. Norwel received valuable and constructive feedback about what could be done to address the ever increasing demands imposed by regulators. Norwel are now working hard to deliver some software enhancements to further facilitate this.
The Special Interest Group’s organiser, PMS Product Manager Nicola Moore Miller gave her views on the outcome of the event; “We have had some really positive feedback from the event, and we hope that further SIG meetings will continue to act as forum, not only for client feedback, but for our private practice clients to discuss key issues. We have already had a number of suggestions for the next topic, top of the list being the use of automated client and matter inception with integrated credit and risk management features.”
Feedback from the SIG meeting:
“Thanks for yesterday it was really interesting and a great opportunity, I look forward to other discussion groups” Melissa Bourque, Cobbetts LLP.
“Many thanks for the user group meeting yesterday, its good to sit around a table and float ideas, it’s good to listen to others in the same business too, Once again many thanks” Louise Spruce, Fiona Bruce
Norwel would like to thank all those who attended the Special Interest Group and for taking part. If you would like more information on the Special Interest Group or would like to suggest new topics for future meetings, please e-mail Nicola Moore Miller at nicola.moore-miller@norwel.co.uk
