Reducing Litigation and Liability Risk for Attorneys

This course has been approved by The Florida Bar for 1.0 hour of General CLE credit including 1.0 hour of Technology CLE credit and 1.0 hour of Business Litigation and Civil Trial Certification credit. Course Description: Recent laws enacted in Florida and nationally increase the professional responsibility of attorneys who are the victims of a cyber-attack or data breach of any kind. We will review the reasons why attorneys are legally bound to protect client data and then dive into a discussion of the most common cyber-threats to attorneys and their clients including ransomware, phishing schemes, man-in-the-middle and Business Email Compromise (BEC). Attorneys can reduce their vulnerabilities by following simple steps to identify the point of entry for hackers and creating policies and procedures to reduce risk. For example, employees often leave devices unattended and unsecured, especially when they are outside of the office. By training employees and creating a culture of accountability, attorneys can reduce the risk of cybercrime significantly. Finally, attorneys should pay special attention to their method of emailing as most data breaches occur through email hacks or viruses and malware sent via email.
