Bring phishing awareness into the work of your legal practice

A message about an approaching settlement can feel urgent. A request may appear to come from a client, another firm or a colleague involved in the matter. That context can make an instruction look familiar even when the requested action needs an independent check.

Use phishing training to practise how your team handles changes to payment instructions, unexpected document links and requests for confidential information. Keep those checks connected to your firm's existing approvals and incident-response process.

Explore automated phishing simulations for recurring practice and employee security training for the learning to reinforce between tests.

Three legal-workplace situations worth practising

A change to settlement bank details

A message refers to a real matter and asks for payment to a new account. Stop the change and follow the firm's established verification and approval process using contact details already held on file.

A document shared by an apparent client

An unexpected link asks the recipient to sign in before viewing a file. Confirm the request through a known contact or the usual document-sharing system before entering credentials.

An urgent instruction from a colleague

A message asks support staff to release information or bypass an approval because a solicitor is unavailable. Treat the unusual process as a reason to check, even if the displayed name is familiar.

These are illustrative training situations, not a claim that software can prevent every fraud. Your firm's payment controls, access security and response procedures remain essential.

Questions about phishing training for law firms

Yes. Settlement communications, changes to payment details and shared documents are useful training situations for conveyancing staff. Use them to reinforce your firm's own verification procedures.

Training can help staff recognise and question suspicious requests. It does not replace payment authorisations, independent verification or other controls, and it cannot guarantee that fraud will be prevented.

Include the people who receive, forward or approve sensitive requests. Their responsibilities differ, so explain the checks and reporting steps relevant to each role.

Yes. Any person or organisation can use the public awareness course. The business trial is a separate way to explore OutPhish simulations and follow-up learning.
