When working from home, many lawyers and staff use home PCs and save client documents/data on those computers. Although undeniably convenient, we, as legal professionals, remain responsible for producing quality work while maintaining client confidences. In this webinar, we will discuss the ethical and malpractice pitfalls of working remotely and how to address them, including Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 (competence), 1.6 (confidentiality of information), 5.1 (managing subordinate attorneys), and 5.3 (managing non-lawyer assistants), along with their respective comments. We will also discuss the need for full disk encryption, email encryption, home wireless router security, Windows updates, antivirus/malware, cloud options, and how to tighten security when using Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, or Google Drive. While this may sound overwhelming, there are many things you can do right away that are free, or next to free,
that will make a big impact!
