Online risk training designed specifically for law firms

The Legal Eye Academy is an online risk and compliance training system developed to meet the ever-evolving needs of law firms.  Newly improved from January 2025, the team have updated the system to have a fresh new interface, enhanced automation, and powerful features to provide firms with greater flexibility and control in their approach to risk and compliance management. 

With the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) placing an increasingly strong focus on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and compliance standards, the latest improvements will help firms stay ahead of their obligations and avoid costly penalties.  

Partnering with one of the leading state-of-the-art technology providers – whose solutions are trusted by organisations such as the NHS, government agencies, and universities – helps ensure robust security, performance, availability and integration with other systems, meaning the academy and its training system now offers:  

• Increased automation for user management: Firms can now easily manage their own users, saving time and resources. 

• Automated reporting: Firm administrators can schedule reports to be generated and delivered directly to their inboxes, ensuring timely access to critical compliance data. 

• Certificate generation: Course completion certificates are now created automatically, streamlining the process for both users and administrators. 

• Modernised design: A completely redesigned look and feel, offering an intuitive and visually appealing interface. 

Agile and flexible to suit your fee earners:

Users are able to access the training online at a time and in a location to suit them via a secure log in facility and ‘super users’ or administrators at the client firm are granted rights to enable records and test results to be recorded and stored centrally. Current users report that this has saved significant amounts of time both in terms of not taking time out of the working day for staff to physically attend training sessions; but also by reducing the admin surrounding the organisation, delivery, record keeping and ‘chasing’ that is typically involved in ensuring the consistent delivery of training. 

Delivered in sections of between 30 and 60 minutes, the Academy focuses on the practical implications of a range of compliance topics. Crucially each module includes quiz-style tests throughout each module to ensure that every individual has understood the training and can put the required actions resulting in to use as soon as they return to their everyday work. 

With modules that cover the latest emerging risk and compliance issues, these are continually updated to reflect changes in regulation, meaning your teams are always up to date.
