Responsibility of Outside Counsel to Protect Client Information

Outside Counsel are becoming prime targets for hackers and others seeking to steal valuable trade secrets and to disrupt the interests of firm clients due to the particularly sensitive information created and received by counsel during litigation and other proceedings. Law Firms have an ethical duty to ensure that they have appropriate measures in place, including training and technology, to ensure that the information they create and receive on behalf of their clients is maintained safely and securely.
