WHAT?
As law firms increasingly rely on third-party technology—from cloud services to eDiscovery platforms—the contracts behind those tools have become a critical line of defense. In this CLE session, Dustin Bolander, cybersecurity strategist and Managing Partner at Clear Guidance Partners, unpacks how legal professionals can protect firm and client data through smarter contract negotiation.
Drawing on over 15 years of experience advising law firms on IT and cybersecurity, Dustin will guide attendees through the anatomy of technology agreements, highlighting the risks hidden in the fine print. The session covers must-know provisions related to data ownership, security standards, vendor liability, breach response obligations, and emerging concerns around AI integration.
This session offers practical guidance on what to watch for, what to push back on, and how to align your contracts with your cybersecurity strategy, empowering firm leaders and administrators to safeguard sensitive data and mitigate vendor risk.
