Description

Your Data Probably Has Been Stolen. Wondering How to Minimize the Chances of it Happening Again?

Like everyone else, lawyers rely heavily on technology to store information. In addition to the everyday concerns we all have regarding the potential loss or theft of our information, lawyers have the added ethical responsibility of maintaining client confidentiality.

Attendees will learn how their responsibilities under the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 and 1.6 apply to handling and safeguarding their clients’ information.

Presenter Jennifer Ellis, Esq. details real-world data-loss scenarios that have affected lawyers and non-lawyers, and provides specific tips and strategies for attendees to protect both their own and their clients’ data.

She also explains how taking reasonable steps to protect client data can give lawyers a safe harbor (under the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct) even if a data breach (or loss) does occur.
