Smart Devices in Your Home, in Your Car and in Your Office: What Do You Need to Know to Protect Your Clients, Your Practice, and Your Privacy?

Smart devices aren’t limited to your TV anymore. From security cameras and doorbells to thermostats and air quality monitors, smart devices are here to stay. This seminar will discuss the latest smart technology and devices and what you need to know to protect your clients, your practice, and your privacy including important ethics rules and considerations regarding the use of smart devices in the practice of law. You will learn about current security threats to our data, including ransomware attacks on law firms, what types of data our smart devices are collecting (and listening to) and how we can protect data and attorney-client privilege while using these devices, and the ethical obligations we have as attorneys and how they relate to the presence of smart devices and technology in our everyday lives and practices. 

We will specifically discuss: 

• The duty of competence (Rule 1.1)
• The duty of confidentiality (Rule 1.6)
• The duty to communicate (Rule 1.4)
• The duty to keep clients' property safe (Rule 1.15)
