Law firms increasingly depend on a complex mix of technologies while facing growing cybersecurity threats and heightened client expectations. This panel discussion brings together legal and technical professionals to provide a 10,000-foot overview of the most pressing technology concerns for modern practice and their ethical implications.
The program will explore how core professional duties intersect with practical realities of law firm technology. Panelists will cover risks such as: ransomware, data breaches, and insider threats; challenges in adopting and supervising AI; and the responsibilities lawyers carry when working with vendors, managing data, or operating across borders.
