Description

Learn about the risks present and what steps you can take to protect your clients information.
Attorneys, no matter what jurisdiction they work in, have heightened obligations to protect client confidence and client property. For a law firm, a data breach presents the risk of ethical risks beyond the economic and reputational risks faced by other organizations. Proper handling of a client matter requires that an attorney not only understand the substantive law associated with the client matter but also has a duty to protect clients confidences and property. With a couple of simple rules and an understanding of where the risks exist, you can protect yourself and your clients assets. This presentation seeks to explain what risks are present and what steps you can take, with little effort and often at no expense, to protect your clients information.
