Business Continuity Management helps organisations understand their overall business risks and then develop a documented system to mitigate and manage those risks.
First Quality Solutions is a division of FPA Consulting. Our team of advisers worked with the management team and visited the firm offices in order to understand the business.
We then helped to develop and implement a robust a business continuity plan that is compliant with ISO 22301.
Our team from First Energy Solutions, another division of FPA Consulting has also helped Geldards to save money and buy utility energy solutions more effectively by negotiating and managing contracts with providers.
As a respected law firm it was important to be able to demonstrate a robust approach to risk management.
ISO 22301 provides a framework to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve a business continuity management system (BCMS). It is expected to help organizations protect against, prepare for, respond to, and recover when disruptive incidents arise
By developing a business continuity plan to ISO22301 standard Geldards have been able to provide reassurance to its clients that advice and services can still be provided should an incident occur.

“In creating a business continuity strategy, if the worst were to happen, our clients can now be assured that we have appropriate plans in place to ensure there is no interruption in our ability to deliver legal advice. I would definitely recommend First Quality Solutions. They have helped us identify the problems and then think of the solutions.”
