4. Of the projects you have been working on here, which has been of particular interest to you and why?

One project of particular interest has been working on an application the legal teams use called InTapp. This is used to verify client details and mitigate risk. Our team is focused on automating the client onboarding process to streamline operations. This is very interesting, as it solves many problems. It involves finding automation tools that pull data from multiple sources, etc.; this reduces repetitive tasks and speeds up client verification. This not only helps the fee-earners but also the whole business.
