For today’s law firms, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It is a business risk that lands squarely on the desks of firm leadership and administration. A single breach can disrupt operations, damage client trust and create serious financial exposure. At the same time, compliance requirements are expanding and cyber insurance carriers are asking tougher questions at renewal time. 

Legal administrators are often at the center of it all, balancing risk, budgets, policies and people. The stakes are high, and the margin for error is small.

Join Bill Sorenson, VP of Professional Services at Afinety, for a practical, business-focused webinar that clarifies what legal administrators need to know about compliance, insurance and real-world risk. You will leave with a clearer understanding of where your firm may be exposed and what steps can help protect it. 

Attendees will walk away with:

  • A mid-sized law firm’s cautionary tale: A real-world example that shows how a breach impacted operations, finances and leadership, and what could have been done differently.
  • Navigating the regulatory maze: A plain-language overview of ABA guidance, FTC Safeguards, IRS 4557, HIPAA and other requirements that affect firm policies and oversight.
  • Insurance coverage insights: How compliance directly impacts your cyber and AI liability coverage and what administrators should be asking before renewal season.
  • The true cost of missteps: The financial, operational and reputational consequences of falling short, beyond just the IT cleanup.
  • A roadmap to resilience: A practical, three-phase approach to assess risk, strengthen policies and support firm-wide security and compliance. 

Do not wait for a breach or an insurance denial to reveal gaps in your strategy. Join us to gain the clarity and confidence needed to help safeguard your firm’s operations, reputation and future.
