What to Expect from an SRA AML Desk Review (with Peter Hibbitt)
HiveRisk (https://hiverisk.com/) CEO Kate Burt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-burt-hiverisk-co-uk/) is joined by HiveRisk Commercial Director Peter Hibbitt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-hibbitt-8a76094b/) to unpack the SRA review lifecycle, the documents and file evidence the SRA is looking for, the recurring weaknesses that attract follow-up, as well as practical steps firms can take before - and after - the regulator’s letter lands.
For many firms, the email confirming an SRA AML desk-based review can trigger immediate anxiety. The turnaround is short, the request is detailed and the consequences can feel uncertain. But the central message from this What’s the Buzz? session is: do not panic, do not rush and do not simply send whatever you can find.

When Legal Tech Goes Wrong, It's Rarely Just the Software (with Oliver Tromp)
It’s easy to point at the software.
But successful implementation is rarely just about the technology. It's about getting the right people around the table early.
Being clear about the problem you’re trying to solve. Challenging legacy processes rather than simply rebuilding them. And making sure governance, compliance and accountability are designed in from the outset.
In this episode of What’s the Buzz? Kate Burt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-burt-hiverisk-co-uk/) sits down with Oliver Tromp (https://www.linkedin.com/in/otromp-law-firm-practice-management/) from Actionstep (https://www.linkedin.com/company/actionstep/) to explore what really makes legal technology succeed, where implementations start to unravel, and what firms can do differently.
Less blame. Better questions. Better implementation.
