June 6: Protecting Your Law Practice: A Guide to Disaster Planning

Join this CLE to learn how to protect your firm from the unexpected. If you had to step away from your firm for a period of time, would it survive? If a hurricane struck your physical office, could work still continue for your clients, uninterrupted? You can’t always predict a disaster or an expected cessation of practice, but you can prepare your response to these events well in advance. You can protect yourself, and your firm, against natural or manmade disasters, from hurricanes to office fires, by planning ahead.

Consider this free CLE your ultimate guide to disaster planning for your law firm. It’s critical to safeguard your firm against unexpected crises, but a lot of attorneys don’t know where to start. Do I need a cybersecurity policy? If I got into a car accident tomorrow and was incapacitated for a few weeks, would my employees be able to keep the firm running? How should I be storing my physical and electronic files? If my firm gets struck by a natural disaster, what does that actually look like for my practice?
In this CLE session, attorney Jordan Turk will share stories of how successful legal professionals weathered disasters, what firm policies you should have in place to deal with a crisis, and how to adhere to ethical standards in the face of adversity.
‍In this free CLE webinar, you’ll learn:
  • Ethical issues surrounding natural and manmade disasters
  • How to properly protect confidential client information during unexpected events
  • Best practices for restoring and rebuilding your workspace
  • Tips for mitigating the impact of future disasters
