Business in the Okanagan continues to succeed despite the global pandemic. There are more and more buildings being constructed and tenants getting ready to move in. The business law team at FH&P Lawyers has been assisting clients for more than 100 years in the Okanagan and are rooted in community. The team provides legal services to people just starting out or that have been around for decades regardless if you are an individual with a small business or a large multi-jurisdictional corporation.

This FH&P Lawyers podcast entitled “Law Talk” will educate listeners on business matters including whether or not to incorporate, estate planning with a business and all other legal issues businesses face.

With people working from home and interacting with their coworkers and clients over email more and more since the pandemic began, the opportunity to be hacked or fall victim to a scam has become more frequent. Businesses specifically, including law firms, have been subject to fraudsters who are looking to get behind cybersecurity walls and cause issues to daily routes and/or steal money. If someone falls victim to a scam, who is responsible for the money lost or for paying an invoice to the wrong person?

Business lawyers Clay Williams and Tanvir Gill discuss fraud in the latest episode of the FH&P Lawyers Law Talk podcast.  They welcome associate Andrea Meyes, who has been doing significant research in this area as these fraud issues are seemingly becoming worse.
