Heather Hibberd, Chief Risk Manager at LPLC, is joined by Susie Jones, the CEO of Cynch Security, an organisation that partners with small businesses across a range of sectors, including law, to improve their cyber security fitness.
In this episode, Susie uses her expertise in the people and process side of cyber security to break down common misunderstandings that often lead to cyber incidents in law firms, as well as simple actions you can take to protect your firm.

Heather and Susie discuss:


How and why cyber criminals choose their targets
Cyber awareness in law firms and the need for each of us to understand our personal responsibility to be cyber safe
Common barriers lawyers face that may prevent them from implementing basic cyber security measures and how to overcome them
Implementing multi-factor authentication, password managers and other steps you can take

Cyber Security - Not Just A Technology Risk

Have you ever felt pressure to act in matters outside your expertise when you know you shouldn’t? Perhaps you’re trying to maintain a relationship, or increase your client base - for whatever reason, you really shouldn’t be doing that work but you just don’t know how to say no?When we dabble in matters we shouldn't because we don't have expertise in that area, we lack the support of systems and precedents that help us work effectively, and so are more likely to miss things and give inadequate or incorrect advice. It’s up there as one of the highest causes of professional indemnity claims we see at LPLC. In this episode Deb Assheton from training and development organisation The Amplify Group joins LPLC’s Chief Risk Manager Heather Hibberd on a journey to empower practitioners to say no and equip them with tools and frameworks to guide them through difficult conversations.The techniques covered in this episode will help you:
Navigate hard conversations with clients in a constructive way.
Balance the human and performance aspects of being a lawyer.
Help you to stay within your power, say no and be OK with it, set expectations and maintain relationships.
Learn to tolerate the difficult feelings saying no raises

Going your own way: one lawyer's story

A workforce disruption has taken place across the legal sector in the wake of the COVID pandemic. Many lawyers are leaving employment in established firms to start their own practices, some with only a few years experience behind them.
Having a law degree may not be enough to guarantee success if you start your own practice. Being a business owner comes with an additional set of risks, challenges and responsibilities beyond the experience of an employee in a firm. Many who start their own legal practice aren’t prepared for what is required in the shift to working the business as well as working the business.onin
In this episode, Heather Hibberd is joined by Liz Harris, a lawyer and consultant who provides advice to the legal sector, to talk about how new law practice owners can shift their mindset to becoming a new business owner as well as a lawyer providing a service. Liz is the principal consultant at Ovid consulting, where she provides advice about best practice in legal department management, to help law firms deliver better services.
In this podcast you’ll discover what you need to think about when you start your own practice, the mindset required to do it well, how to divide your time efficiently and what you can do to minimise your risk.
The conversation covers:· Knowing when to delegate and hire help· Setting boundaries and goals for your business· Investing in, and upskilling your staff· The need for resilience and support networks
