Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Dallas - Fort Worth

Registration 4:00-4:30 pm
CLE presentation 4:30-5:30 pm
Happy Hour 5:30-7:00 pm
 

Join us as we examine information security, the ethics of technology, and how to communicate with clients about their private data. At least one state now recognizes that part of the lawyer's duty to maintain competence includes keeping abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. This program explores this ethics requirement and provides an overview of what you need to do to comply.

Notes

CLE Overview:
 

All attorneys - regardless of practice experience or practice area - who attend this program will better understand: the necessary processes and procedures to avoid a data breach; computer security, cloud technology, and other major risks associated with the use of technology in the practice of law. You'll leave with the confidence you need to comfortably use the latest technology in your organization while mitigating the risks associated with practicing in this digital age.

In this CLE you will learn:
  • Learn about information security and data privacy as it relates to your clients' and law firm's confidential information, as well as how the duty of reasonable care applies
  • Get an understanding of confidentiality and competency basics as it relates to the technology you use
  • Discover how you can stay compliant while you're away from the office, including privacy screens and wifi concerns
  • Learn the dangers of email, like reply-all, BCCs, phishing scams, and sending confidential client information
  • Learn how the latest technology can help your firm, and the most important questions to ask service providers to meet your due diligence requirements
