Lawyers may be highly competitive, even confrontational, but when necessary they can get together voluntarily to co-operate on issues of professional interest. In 2004, 14 large law firms got together to start a co-operative online training venture, known as the Online Compliance Consortium (OCC). The OCC first developed training on anti-money laundering (AML) which has proved to be very successful and now has nearly 100 leading firms using the fee earner and support staff versions.
Face-to-face training sessions on a cooperative basis are not unknown, but preparing online courses takes the concept a stage further. There was an exchange of ideas in the discussions as each of us added our own thoughts and, so far as repeatable outside our own offices, experiences.
