About the Program

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses operate - but it is also creating new opportunities for fraudsters. Attorneys are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated AI-enhanced scams, including deepfake audio and video impersonations, business email compromise, fraudulent wire transfer requests, and social engineering attacks designed to exploit trust and urgency.

This
timely webinar is designed to help legal professionals understand the evolving AI threat landscape and strengthen their defenses against emerging fraud risks. Participants will learn how criminals are leveraging artificial intelligence to impersonate clients, executives, financial institutions, and trusted vendors, as well as the warning signs that can help identify these increasingly convincing schemes.

The session will also review best practices for securing financial transactions, including wire transfers, ACH payments, electronic funds transfers, and the handling of checks. Attendees will gain practical strategies for verifying payment instructions, strengthening cybersecurity controls, maintaining secure communications, and responding effectively if fraud occurs.

By the end of this webinar, attorneys will be better equipped to identify and prevent AI-driven fraud, protect client funds and confidential information, and implement stronger safeguards for their firm's financial operations.
