Easy Strategies to Up Your Client Development Game

The CBA’s Cyber Law and Data Privacy Committee meets on the third Tuesday of each month. For more information, go to www. chicagobar.org/committees. providing ten ways a lawyer can better protect clients, including adopting and maintaining an appropriate security pro- gram, changing passwords to make them more secure, and shredding confidential, sensitive or privileged materials rather than throwing them away. Cotter noted numerous ethical opinions have been issued relevant to the cloud topic, but that most of them were not recent, such as ISBA Ethics Op. 10-01 (July 2009), which addressed an attorney’s use of a third party technology vendor. While the opinion dealt with Illinois RPC 1.6(a), it was issued several years before the recent adoption of RPC 1.6(e). Cotter cau- tioned that given the increased focus and ever changing area of cyber security, lawyers should stay abreast of developments and future opinions that are relevant. Cotter strongly encouraged the group that when disposing of privileged or con- fidential data, a lawyer should shred such information, and should also shred data where there is any doubt regarding its con- fidentiality. Cotter closed by referencing several additional resources lawyers could access to make sure they are up to speed on their obligations to secure data. Winters closed the presentation by
