Client and Matter Risk Assessments for Conveyancers
Effective client and matter risk assessments should explain the risks, inform due diligence and remain under review as a transaction develops. Explore practical guidance for conveyancers on risk ratings, mitigation, approvals and recording decisions. Discover how Lexsure’s CDDmonitor can support a structured digital CMRA process, tailored to your firm’s risks and procedures.
Does your CMRA explain the risk and what happens next?
A completed form or selected risk rating does not, by itself, demonstrate an effective assessment. Your records should explain the risks identified, the measures taken and the reasoning behind the decision to proceed.
CDDmonitor helps conveyancing firms structure and record client and matter risk assessments, with configurable templates, escalation settings and reviews as matters develop.
- Record the reasoning supporting risk ratings.
- Tailor questions to your firm-wide risk assessment.
- Document mitigation measures and configure escalation.
- Reassess matters when new information emerges.
- Retain timestamped assessment records for review.
Explore the digital CMRA service and consider how it could support your firm’s assessment, approval and monitoring procedures.
