n the eyes of cybercriminals, legal professionals are an easy and lucrative target. Law firms are often a one-stop shop for incredibly sensitive information and you might not be doing enough to protect the data in your possession.

And ethics watchdogs are taking note. Just yesterday, the ABA released Formal Opinion 483, providing new guidance on attorneys' duties to protect against data breaches.  

Join us next week a free webinar on this new ethics opinion and how cybersecurity and professional responsibility overlap.

A frequent author and speaker on ethics and professional responsibility, his work has appeared in leading journals such as the Fordham, Stanford, University of Colorado and Wisconsin law reviews, and the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics. Eli’s articles have also been cited in ABA ethics opinions and excerpted in legal ethics casebooks.
