High profile data breaches at Yahoo, Equifax, and Facebook are cogent examples that a business’ records and client data can be lost in an instant, resulting in serious legal consequences. Law firms with an internet presence face no less risk of exposure, and need proactive data security and data breach prevention strategies to guard solicitor-client confidentiality. With data breaches escalating in 2019, you need to attend this Managing Partner Roundtable to ensure you are aware of the trends and preventative strategies in law firm data security.

• Proactively managing privacy information security breaches
• Common pitfalls and preventative security strategies when integrating AI in your practice
• Developing and implementing privacy and data-use protection policies
