Lessons Learned from Superstorm Sandy - Emergency Preparedness for
Lawyers .
An unforeseen
crisis can be difficult to manage and can jeopardize your law practice.
Planning ahead is essential to providing competent representation and
preventing disciplinary problems. Most law firms know they need a
disaster recovery plan, but don’t have one. Maybe your firm has
started its emergency planning procedures, but how can you be certain it
is comprehensive or that you are not overlooking important functions,
contingencies and considerations? Without an effective and customized
plan, your firm is at risk.
This program will
cover:
- Law Practice Continuity -
Prepare for retirement, disability or other planned or unplanned
interruptions in the practice of law
- The Ethical Risk –
Don't risk your good standing status by neglecting to plan
ahead
- Preparedness Manuals, Action Plans and Checklists - Best practices
in emergency planning and disaster recovery for law firms
- Physical Facilities: Knowledge of the physical layout of your
premises is critical to safe evacuation of personnel, retrieval of
important documents and equipment, restoration of services, and planning
to repair or rebuild
- Records Protection, Retention and Storage: A records disaster
recovery program identifies and protects records encompassing vital
files, documents (hard copy and electronic) and information necessary
for a law firm to maintain business continuity in case of a disaster or
emergency
Chaired by Marian C. Rice, Esq. this program will provide an overview
