AI & Cybersecurity

MCLE Overview

In today’s legal environment, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue — it is an ethical obligation and a core component of competent law practice.

Join us for an important and timely CLE program examining the growing cybersecurity, technology, and ethical challenges facing lawyers and law firms. From remote work risks to security concerns to the rapidly expanding use of AI tools, attorneys must navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape while continuing to protect client confidences and comply with professional obligations.

This program will explore the intersection of technology and legal ethics, including:

• The emerging use of AI tools in legal practice, including supervision, accuracy, and confidentiality concerns
• Social media use, online presence, and professional responsibility
• Technological competence under Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1
• Protecting confidential client information and secure communications
• Cybersecurity best practices and incident response planning
• Ethical considerations surrounding remote work and virtual law practice

Our panel will discuss practical, real-world scenarios that lawyers increasingly face, along with concrete strategies to reduce risk, protect client data, and ensure compliance with evolving ethical standards.

Whether you are a solo practitioner, small firm lawyer, or part of a larger litigation practice, this program will provide valuable insight into the technological and ethical issues every modern lawyer must understand.
