Get to know your runner.

4/8/2013

Many law firms, especially those in medium and large cities, employ a runner service to take filings to court and to other attorneys using the service. These services are a cost-effective way of handling routine filings, and can really save time and money.  Keep in mind, though, that a person seeking access to your offices or information may be able to make use of your runner service by impersonating one of its workers.  Many such services assign one runner to a daily route, so you should see the same person every day.  

Be alert for any change in your runner -- if you see a new face, particularly one that shows up at an unusual time, ask the service about it.  Make note of the physical description of the person, to help with a report to law enforcement if it becomes necessary.

This advice applies to any service that visits your offices on a regular basis, including bottled water, coffee, copier machine, office supplies, or other services.  Do not assume that a person coming into the building is safe just because he or she wears a familiar uniform.
