Holiday time, particularly the Christmas and New Year period, is a time when law firms close their doors and staff head off for a well-earned break. To ensure that both you and your team can genuinely switch off and return refreshed, it’s important to plan the transition from a fully operational firm to a secure shutdown. Thoughtful preparation not only supports staff wellbeing but also protects your firm from risks that can arise while the office is unattended.
Here are some key issues to consider when planning your office shut down.
Building a strong risk culture within your law firm takes intentional planning and consistent effort.

You don't need to tackle everything at once. Even choosing a few key areas to focus on will strengthen your firm's risk culture and the quality of the work you deliver to clients.

We are united in our shock and sorrow following the horrific attacks that took place at Bondi Beach yesterday evening.
Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those who have been tragically affected by this abhorrent violence. This has particularly impacted the Jewish community of Sydney and across Australia, a community that is an integral and cherished part of our multicultural society.
We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and all who have been affected by this senseless violence. Everyone has the right to safety, security and freedom from fear.
We condemn these acts of antisemitism, extremism and violence in the strongest possible terms. We reaffirm our commitment to the rule of law, which underpins the safety and security of all in Australia.
We are united in our resolve that such acts of violence and hate will not undermine the values of inclusion and fundamental freedoms, including of religion and other rights, which define our community.
As the year draws to a close, we would like to thank our insured practitioners and stakeholders for their continued trust and engagement. We appreciate the important work you do and the role we play in supporting you throughout the year.
