SLC announces cybercrime roadshows

The roadshows will take place at Cambridge United Football Club on 26 April, Howdens Group Office in London on 4 May, Mercure Hotel in Cardiff on 18 May and Macdonald Hotel in Manchester on 24 May.

The Society of Licensed Conveyancers has announced four roadshows in April and May focusing on fraud and cybercrime for conveyancers.

The roadshows will take place at Cambridge United Football Club on 26 April, Howdens Group Office in London on 4 May, Mercure Hotel in Cardiff on 18 May and Macdonald Hotel in Manchester on 24 May.

The speakers for Cambridge will include Neil Scriven from Barclays Bank, Paul Tucker from Lawyer Checker, Ed Powell from Safe Move, as well as Tom Horrocks from Cpm21.

Simon Law, SLC chairman said: “Much has been said and written about fraud and cyber crime in recent times.

“They are subjects which affect so many aspects of everyday life, not just lawyers and in particular conveyancers.

“The problem is that the criminal element will always find new ways to get around the protective measures and systems that are constantly being developed.

“The Spring roadshows this year will be dedicated to the subjects of fraud and cybercrime and will be focused on conveyancing.”

The roadshows are free for members and priced at £75.00 for non-members.
