Whether or not you have a paperless office, the reality of legal practice today is that significant quantities of confidential information is stored in electronic formats. While advances in technology provide opportunities for you to increase your practice efficiency, such opportunities come with inherent risks as cybercriminals identify law firms and legal practices as a goldmine of confidential information. Unintentional “data leakage” can also threaten the confidentiality of your electronic data.

Privacy breaches may result in a host of negative consequences, including investigations and prosecutions, penalties and class action lawsuits, political fallout, negative press, reputational harms, and lost profits.  All organizations that collect, use or disclose personal information run the risk of encountering a data breach.  Gain critical insights on how to help your clients minimize the legal, financial and other risks associated with privacy breaches with this essential program.
