Protecting Client Data: Ethical & Statutory Concerns for Law Firms

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and CNA Insurance

The extremely confidential nature of client data held by law firms makes them one of the biggest targets for hackers.  In addition, lawyers have ethical and statutory obligations to keep this client data confidential.  Combining these factors with a lawyer’s ethical obligation to remain competent in a world where today’s client data is increasingly being held digitally results in a complex and demanding standard for attorneys to uphold.

Join us for this 60-minute program, where our panelists will discuss the specific obligations of law firms under legal and ethical rules when dealing with cybersecurity risks or breaches, the type of liability and risk specific to law firms, and how to manage these risks to uphold these obligations.

Please join us for the airing of this pre-recorded presentation followed by live Q&A with our speakers at the end of the webinar!
