Most firms very wisely seek to limit their liability to clients in their engagement letters. It makes sense to do this so the firm and the client both know how much financial compensation might be available if things go wrong. But while limiting liability is good risk management practice, such clauses must be drafted carefully to be effective. Problems arise where the perceived losses are more than the limit of liability contained in the engagement letter. And if restrictions and exclusions are too onerous, they could be deemed unenforceable, leaving liability unrestricted. Law firms: limiting liability in engagement letters

Hydrogen vehicles and refuelling stations: property considerations

Increasing fuel costs and the ongoing need to reduce carbon emissions means that businesses continue to look at reducing their reliance on the fossil fuel internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles are at present the main contender, although hydrogen-based technology could provide another alternative for commercial vehicles. Hydrogen has been used for many decades in various industries and provides a high energy density fuel when burned, producing no greenhouse gases. However, hydrogen also presents several hazards and there are safety factors to consider when planning its storage and use.

Golden thread: BSA requirements create additional cyber exposure

The Building Safety Act 2022 and the associated Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023 introduced significant information retention requirements through their ‘golden thread’ provisions. These apply to buildings defined as ‘higher risk’ in the legislation. The golden thread comprises information to create a proper understanding of a building and consequently the steps needed to keep both the building and people safe. It is envisioned as a building’s ‘single source of truth’, and to avoid obsolescence and omission errors, it is not intended to be held across multiple sources or even duplicated (save back up). The legislation stipulates that the golden thread information must be held digitally, and to protect both personal information and the security of the building, it must be held securely.The Building Safety Act 2022 and the associated Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023 introduced significant information retention requirements through their ‘golden thread’ provisions.

Deepfake and the risk of vendor fraud: challenges and solutions for solicitors

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology are increasing the threat to solicitors of deepfake-enabled vendor fraud, with conveyancing and property transactions a particular target. Where successful, these frauds can inflict significant financial and reputational harm, both on a firm and its clients.
