3 steps to protect your firm's money from fraud 🛡️
Law firms handle client money, wire transfers, and a lot of trust, all while everybody's busy. Scammers know that, and one slip can cost you way more than the dollars involved.
1. Don't let one person do it all 👥
Split who approves a payment from who sends it. Fraud usually needs just one weak spot to work.
2. Slow down on money requests 🚦
Any rush to move money or change payment details deserves a pause. Urgency is exactly what scammers count on.
3. Keep a regular eye on the accounts 🔍
Look at what's moving in and out often. Catching something quickly can be the difference between a scare and a real loss.
When these habits are in place, you sleep better, your clients' money stays safe, and a bad email stays just a bad email.
