Future of Conveyancing

In June 2021 we hosted a free two-day conference on the future of conveyancing in Scotland.

The conference featured presentations by a range of speakers. Topics included qualified electronic signatures, what the customer of the future may demand and international showcases.

Our thanks to all who participated in the event and for providing helpful feedback and positive comments. We look forward to shaping the future of conveyancing with you.

Podcast

Our Keeper & Chief Executive, Jennifer Henderson, met with conference host David Lee, to discuss the main themes of the conference in a podcast.

Qualified Electronic Signatures

We have published a short blog on RoS' approach to qualified electronic signatures.
