OVERVIEW

Digital risk, fraud and identity verification create significant challenges for lawyers in the real estate space, particularly given the rise of remote transactions and digital real estate processes, together with shifting client expectations.

Traditional verification methods, such as physical document reviews and in-person meetings can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and susceptible to inaccuracy in an era of sophisticated cyber crime and fraud.

This webinar explores the growing threat of fraud and digital risk which are shaping legal frameworks in real estate, and offers transformative solutions through live technology demonstrations.
