  • First Briefing, May 2021 – Scheme Funding in the Legal Sector
    First Briefing, May 2021 – Scheme funding in the legal sector Many legal firms prepare their statutory accounts as at 30 April. This briefing looks at some of the issues these firms face when preparing this year’s FRS 102 pension disclosures. It includes analysis of the majority of legal firms with a Defined Benefit pension scheme (33 schemes across 30 firms). Contact us for a free benchmarking report to find out how the funding of your scheme compares to others in the sector. Change in assets since 30 April 2020 Financial conditions over the year have been mixed as markets looked to recover from the pandemic-induced volatility we saw in the first quarter of 2020. Equities have performed well, with positive returns over the year averaging from 25% to 30%. Bond yields have risen significantly so far in 2021, meaning that the values of government and corporate bond holdings are generally lower than they were at the start of the year. Overall, the impact on individual schemes will vary according to the investment strategy adopted. Schemes with higher allocations to equities will have seen their assets increase, whereas schemes with high bond allocations may have seen a reduction in assets over the year (although as we discuss in the next section, this may have been offset by a reduction in liabilities).1 Global equities: +30% UK equities: +25% Average DGF: +10% Index-linked gilts: 0% Corporate bonds -5% Fixed-interest gilts: -15% © First Actuarial LLP 2021 all rights reserved. The information contained in this bulletin is, to the best of our knowledge and belief, correct at the time of writing.

  • Law Firm Data Breaches: the Cone of Silence Shatters
    Law Firm Data Breaches: The Cone of Silence Shatters By Sharon D. Nelson, Esq. and John W. Simek © 2016 Sensei Enterprises, Inc. For years, the authors (and many others) have been saying that law firms generally keep mum about data breaches. While we have seen a few small firms abide by data breach notification laws, the larger firms generally have not, usually hanging their hat on the “we don’t know what data was compromised” or the “we had an incident, but no evidence of an actual breach or misuse of data” excuses. In fairness, not all data breach notification laws are equal – in some cases, they may not have to disclose Whether they have told their clients is unknown, but speculation has been rising that they often have not, for fear of a mass client exodus. Two Am Law 100 Firm’s Breaches Announced The “Cone of Silence” around law firm data breaches began to shatter on March 29, 2016, when the Wall Street Journal reported that Cravath Swaine and Weil Gotshal, two members of the Am Law 100, were breached in the summer of 2015. Other firms, not named, were reportedly breached as well. The Manhattan U.S. attorney's office and the FBI are probing the breaches. It isn't clear what information may have been compromised. The information in the article came from "people familiar with the matter." Because the story came from the Wall Street Journal, we are quite confident that they verified the information. Cravath acknowledged that there was a "limited breach" but said that the firm is "not aware that any of the information that may have been accessed has been used improperly." The firm said it was working with law enforcement and outside consultants to assess its security.

The recommendations made by the group had been accepted by Lord Neuberger and Lady Hale. The first step was training for judicial colleagues, so that they were more familiar with electronic bundles. The plan in the medium term was for parties to be required to file in hard copy only the core volume and the core volume of the authorities.
