Description: In the past few years, news of data breaches and accidental disclosure of confidential information have rocked the legal world.
Starting with amendments to the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct in 2012, the legal profession has responded by enacting new ethics rules, creating new obligations for attorneys to take proactive measure to protect client confidential information.
So far, 30 states have adopted the ABA’s new Model Rules, with New York, Wisconsin, and Montana’s rules taking effect at the beginning of 2017.
What you will learn:
-
How ethics rules regarding accidental disclosure of confidential information have changed in the last two decades in response to the rising use of the Internet, electronic storage systems, and email.
-
Attorney obligations under the new rules.
-
How to implement substantive change programs to ensure individual and firm-wide compliance.
