Free CLE Webinar for Lawyers
Cyber Claim Horror Stories June 17 1PM ET
Cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue—it is a core component of legal risk management, professional responsibility, and client protection. Law firms, regardless of size or practice area, are prime targets for cybercriminals. Why? Because lawyers hold exactly what attackers want: sensitive client data, financial information, privileged communications, and transactional authority.
Lawyers have an ethical obligation (Rule 1.1) to stay current on changes in technology and cybersecurity.
This webinar will help attorneys and legal professionals comply with Rule 1.1 by exploring the mid-year cyber landscape and taking a deep dive into attorney Ethics and Best Practices. We’re going to move beyond theory and into reality through analyzing actual cyber claim scenarios. These “horror stories” illustrate not just how attacks happen, but where lawyers are most vulnerable, how damages escalate, and what practical steps lawyers can take to mitigate risk.
