Law firms are inviting targets for hackers
According to The AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION STANDING COMMITTEE ON ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
Formal Opinion 483 October 17, 2018
Data breaches and cyber threats involving or targeting lawyers and law firms are a major professional responsibility and liability threat facing the legal profession. As custodians of highly sensitive information, law firms are inviting targets for hackers.2 In one highly publicized incident, hackers infiltrated the computer networks at some of the country’s most well-known law firms, likely looking for confidential information to exploit through insider trading schemes.3 Indeed, the data security threat is so high that law enforcement officials regularly divide business entities into two categories: those that have been hacked and those that will be.

With technology, law firms can be more productive
The Legal Technology Survey Report results show more and more lawyers are moving to the cloud. In fact, almost 90% of all documents produced in law firms are now in a digital format. This increased use of technology allows law firms to be more productive and achieve faster results, but that also creates responsibilities.
