This On Demand was recorded on 4 March 2026.

Are you doing everything you should to keep your firm’s and clients’ information secure, including meeting your obligations under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act and Privacy Act?

Join our expert panel for a session on how to protect your data - and in doing so, protect your clients, reputation and practice - in an evolving technological landscape.

This On Demand will update your understanding of compliance with the privacy principles and data breach obligations (including cross-border considerations) - and build understanding of how changes to the Privacy Act affect how law firms collect personal information. 

You’ll gain insight into how the continuing evolution of technology (eg AI) can create challenges for modern practice; and explore key actions to improve security of information in your practice, and what can be learnt from security breaches.
