                     What Are The Obligation Of Law Firms In The Event Of A Data Breach
• Developments in the rules and regulations governing data breaches occur as fast as 
you can click through the headlines on your favourite news media site. Now the ABA 
(American Bar Association) has gotten in on the action and is delegating that 
attorneys notify current clients of real or substantially likely data breaches where 
secret client info is or may be compromised.
Act promptly:
• According to the American Bar Association as soon it’s found that there was a data 
breach, it’s the duty of the attorney or law firm to act promptly to lessen and fix the 
issue.
Investigate & identify:
• Once it is been found that there was a data breach, a meticulous examination of the 
incident must be performed to determine how and why it occurred and construe 
what course of action to take.
Inform affected parties:
• The ABA says, “When a data breach happens involving, or having an extensive 
possibility of involving, material client confidential info an attorney has a 
responsibility to infirm the client about the breach. This step is vital because the 
client should be given the chance to be engaged and make decisions related to the 
breach.
