With technology advancing at warp speed, attorneys have virtually 24/7 access to their client files and emails through the use of cellular phones, tablets, laptops, and public WiFi. Having this unlimited access also means hackers have a greater chance of stealing your information, and employees can lose or steal the information.

The speakers at this session will discuss the basics of data privacy and protection. You’ll learn the risks of technology and your ethical obligations to your clients, as well as how ABA Model Rule 1.1 affects you and your practice and what is meant by “reasonable efforts” to keeping client information safe.

You will also learn:

• What happens when you are the victim of a cyber-attack

• Steps to implement a data privacy and security plan

• Ways to protect your employee and client information

• Risks and ethical dilemmas faced when using mobile devices and email

• How to minimize your risk when using technology

• Ethics in cloud computing and document retention
