Information security: Ethics & a New Regulatory Environment.
Cyber-attack is emerging as one of the principal threats law firms face.
Firms that lose client data and money may face substantial losses and overnight damage to client relationships that have been built up over the years.
The best defence is an informed and actively engaged legal workforce that is aware of the danger and can identify a potential threat.
This one-hour interactive session explores the evolving nature of cyber threats to law firms and what regulators require firms to do to prevent and prepare for cyber-attack.
Who should attend:
• Lawyers
• Practice Managers
• General Managers
• Managing Principals / Partners
