OneSearch, the largest local search data company in the UK, has today announced a new partnership with leading panel management specialist LMS to offer their identity checking solution, confirmly, to all its clients.
confirmly was launched by LMS in February 2022 and is designed to reduce risk by safeguarding transfers of conveyancing funds and client monies from fraudsters and attempted scams.’ The technology provides real time monitoring to law firms by harnessing LMS Panel Link and specialist data to verify transaction details quickly.
The partnership has been established with cybercrime an ever-present risk within a post-pandemic conveyancing landscape, with funds and sensitive client information being a constant target for cybercriminals. Last October, one potential sale collapsed due to the buyer being scammed into handing over £640,000 to criminals using a fraudulent email account resembling that of the solicitors.
Robin Wells, Head of Sales Operations at OneSearch, said:
“The new partnership with LMS and confirmly is critically important to OneSearch. It fully satisfies our need to offer greater client protection at a time when cybercrime is becoming ever more sophisticated. LMS have been a trusted business in the industry for many years, and their robust systems enable us to offer increased due diligence and peace of mind for clients”
Travis Scholes, Commercial Director at LMS added:
“We are thrilled to be offering confirmly with OneSearch. Collaboration and accessibility are huge parts of our strategy and law firms being able to access confirmly through OneSearch means that our customer experience is becoming even more streamlined, allowing them to focus on efficiencies in other areas of the process. We really do believe in the data that sits behind confirmly, so much so that all matched results are indemnified, providing that extra level of certainty for law firms.”
