Law firms are often a treasure trove of private data for cybercriminals and lackluster cybersecurity have made law firms rich targets for cybercrime. Firms looking for cyber coverage are strongly encouraged to take their cybersecurity seriously as highly skilled attackers will exploit any vulnerability they can find.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by law firms has recently become a hot topic of discussion. Definitive answers regarding the appropriateness of its use remain elusive. While technology evolves quickly and the conversation may change over time, it’s important to consider the potential issues around the use of generative AI. Currently, discussion with various law firms indicate that many firms are working to develop internal policies regarding the use of AI. Some have shared that they’re trying to get out ahead of the issue even as many lawyers are likely already utilizing AI. If so, policies are likely needed in relatively short order.
