Cybercriminals target lawyers on vacation as changes in the usual procedures give them an opportunity to deceive your clients and staff. So be on high alert for scams during vacation. Arrange for a competent lawyer to supervise your practice and provide your contact information to the lawyer and your staff. Your staff are not in a position to deal with trust funds, except in accordance with the BC Code and Law Society Rules, and should not be left without proper supervision (see BC Code, Chapter 6 and Law Society Rules 3-64 to 3-66).
