Every legal practice needs a business continuity plan to demonstrate compliance against the SRA's "indicative behaviours" under Outcomes Focused Regulation ... but they just reinforce the requirements of good practice in running a business. It's not rocket science, but most firms don't spend the time to consider options that make a legal practice easier to manage.
79% of businesses that have a plan say that developing it helped them to improve their business - not just to deal with problems when they arose. If you had a flood in your office today - do you know who does what first and how long it will really get you back to normal? How long can you do without telephones and email; how quickly can you get them working again?
