If Your Law Firm Suffers A Data-Breach, Maybe You Do Too

Company legal departments need to pay close attention to the cybersecurity practices of the law firms they retain. Not only is it likely that your law firm is holding your company’s sensitive information, it also may have your customers’ sensitive information, and with it the potential for a headline-grabbing security breach. Christie, Pabarue and Young attorney Richard J. Bortnick considers the issue, noting in particular “the fallacy of the widely-held view that counsel’s errors and omissions and/or general liability coverage will respond to a cyber-related incident that impacts a client’s operations, reputation and/or bottom line.”
