SafeLaw Incident Response and Claims Services

Cyber risk incidents and claims at law firms are significantly more complex than claims in other industries because cyber risk claims at law firms often involve confidential information or information subject to attorneyclient privilege. Therefore, we built our SafeLaw incident response team using third-party legal and cyber risk specialists with an expertise in law firm claims. An overview of the SafeLaw incident response and claims handling features are listed below:

  1. Incident response and claims team staffed by law firm specialists, including: (1) technical professionals; (2) legal experts in breach response and confidentiality breaches; (3) victim notification and remediation specialists; and (4) public relations advisors.
  2. Breach response process and team built around confidentiality breaches, breaches of attorney client privilege, and privacy breaches.
  3. Specialist advisors for ABA and related professional ethics violations, PCI breaches, trust account violations, and regulatory breaches.
  4. Expert guidance in ransomware attacks and extortion negotiation.
  5. Contractual risk guidance for firms with merchant banking contracts as well as firms that work with clients in regulated industries such as financial services or healthcare.
