When hackers steal client money, who pays? This course equips you with the law, ethics, and defenses needed to protect your firm and your future.
This ethics program looks at real cases of staggering losses due to hacking, phishing, and spoofing fraud, and the large risks borne by lawyers when client money is diverted.
The program looks at ethics rules and resulting duties for lawyers to stay informed about and up to date on new technologies. It also examines how phishing and spoofing hacks work as fraudsters try to intercept settlements and transaction payments.
From there, the program assesses case law that can only be described as terrifying—cases where law firms end up losing a client settlement to fraudsters and have to repay the client.
With a survey of case law, both state and federal, as well as some appellate oral arguments, you will learn the governing tests and legal struggles. From there, this program will give you valuable practice pointers to protect your firm’s and your clients’ finances, with the latest case law and court tests to assess liability, all of which touch on lawyers’ ethical obligations.
