By digitizing their processes and eliminating manual tasks, Weightmans has strengthened its position as a tech-enabled law firm, ensuring robust risk management and enhanced client service.
With a growing need for streamlined risk assessment and real-time compliance tracking, Weightmans partnered with AuditComply to centralize their processes and simplify compliance with key frameworks like ISO 27001 and GDPR.
