Like many other industries, the legal and financial sectors have been forced to adapt quickly in order to continue meeting the needs of their customers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

To reassure legal clients the Equity Release Council updated its rules and guidance in June 2020 to enable cases to complete without a physical face-to-face meeting with a solicitor. Legal advice can now be sought remotely, with solicitors using a combination of written advice and documented telephone or video calls.

Similarly, if you offer financial services you should make your clients aware that you offer remote Covid-safe consultations. Financial well-being does not need to stop during the pandemic.

As we move through 2021 this will be a key message that your brand should be leading with in their marketing messages.

Whether you’re looking to let clients know that the mandatory physical witnessing of the client’s signature on a mortgage deed can now be completed by an independent adult chosen by the client, or simply reassure them that you can perform remortgage consultations from the comfort of their homes, we have the solutions to reach your key demographic.
