The Professional Development Committee of the Oakland County Bar Association will present "Technology and Solo or Small Firm Practitioners" as an online webinar on Friday, May 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Solo and small firm practitioners face challenges beyond the practice of law. Beyond managing a caseload, growing their practice and managing staff, they need to ensure the security of the data they maintain for professional liability and business continuity purposes. The latter is no easy task: with better technology tools designed to streamline a law practice comes greater responsibility.
This session will:
• Provide an overview of data privacy obligations.
• Walk through a simulated ransomware attack to highlight the damage that can be done and the reporting obligations that can be triggered.
• Provide practical guidance on preventative technology and procedures to reduce the risk of a successful attack.
Speaking at the program will be Colin J. Battersby of McDonald Hopkins LLC and Scott Wrobel of N1 Discovery LLC
Cost for the webinar is $35 for OCBA members, $25 for OCBA Professional Development Committee members, $25 for OCBA new lawyers, paralegals, and students, and $45 for non-members.
