Synopsis:

Whether you’re working from home some or all of the time, or looking at doing so, dangers abound – and we’re not talking about the hazards presented by leftover building blocks on the lounge floor in the dead of night! Liability – both legal and practical – abounds, in respect of software usage, backups, router, cloud service tools, security and more. Will cyber-insurance – where available or sufficient – assist; and what are the alternatives?

These materials will help you:

In respect of working from home and technology:

• Become apprised of the many and varied technology-related risks that working from home presents.
• In respect of cyber-insurance, develop a better understanding of its availability (or otherwise), coverage and limitations, and alternatives.
• Receive guidance on potential traps and useful tips for using technology while WFH.

Intended Audience:

All legal professionals working from home or considering doing so. Practice and office managers may also find these Materials useful.
