OBA Law Practice Management PROGRAM | 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM

A number of high-profile and costly cyber breaches at U.S. law firms in recent years has resulted in growing demand for cyber-insurance products. Law firms have come to appreciate that they may be the next victim, may have to engage in cyber risk management and might even be named in a newspaper headline – much to their chagrin.  All of this begs the questions, what policies of insurance are available in the marketplace?  What cyber-insurance coverage is provided under each policy of cyber-insurance?  How necessary is cyber insurance to small and medium-size law firm and how protective of risk are these policies?  We will spend an hour with Patrick Bourk of Integro (insurance brokers) who has provided many cyber policies to law firms in Ontario and will walk us though the types of coverage available and the types of claims that insurers are starting to see.
