The CBA is offering a dedicated series of CLE seminars specifically tailored for solo/small firm practitioners like you! These seminars are designed to address the various issues and challenges faced at small firms, covering topics including:
Join us at the CBA Law Center for breakfast, followed by three hours of engaging IOLTA, ethics, and law practice management continuing legal education. Members and former members of the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel and Statewide Bar Counsel will provide practical guidance on managing attorney trust accounts, maintaining compliance with professional obligations, and reducing risk in law practice operations. Attendees will gain insight into the role of disciplinary counsel, common ethics violations, recent disciplinary developments, trust account recordkeeping and reconciliation requirements, audit preparedness, and best practices for risk.
Join Brianna Dally, privacy and cybersecurity attorney at Troutman Pepper Locke, and Diana Scott, Founder and CEO of BlueCastle IT Solutions LLC, for a candid, one-hour lunchtime webinar that reveals the cyber incidents and legal issues that often stay out of the spotlight. You will hear real-world stories of potential and actual cyber incidents, including what triggered them, how they unfolded, and what steps could have helped prevent or mitigate their impact. This CLE will walk through the compliance obligations that apply before an incident occurs and the legal requirements that arise afterward, including notification timelines, regulatory exposure, and affirmative duties to implement preventative safeguards under applicable privacy and cybersecurity laws. Rather than serving only as a refresher, this program will focus on what is happening in practice, what is not always discussed, and what the law requires organizations and legal professionals to do in response.
