Overview
Technology is used by almost all lawyers to serve their clients. But how does your use of technology affect your ethical duties to your clients?
Lawyers have ethical duties to act competently and preserve client confidentiality. But if you use technology inappropriately or insecurely you run the risk of breaching these ethical duties – facing significant reputational damage or even disciplinary proceedings.
So how can you successfully uphold your ethical duties in a time of rapid technological change?
In this unique course, you will have the opportunity to learn more about this vital topic through in-depth interviews with three leading experts, facilitated by Cathryn Urquhart:
- Mitch Kowalski, globally-recognised thought leader in legal services innovation;
- Zahn Nel, chief information officer at FilePro legal practice management software;
- Natasha Blycha, managing director of digital law firm Stirling & Rose
