Your questions to the speakers

Facebook? If you answered YES to any of these, then you
are already a cloud computing consumer.
In short, the Cloud lets you use the Internet and web-based
software to do your computer work and store data, rather
than using software installed directly on your computer.
What’s in it for you as a lawyer, or for your law firm? Cloud
computing can reduce a lawyer’s IT expenses and time
spent on management while increasing personal and firm
efficiency. Up-front purchase costs for software and other
applications can be replaced with stable monthly fees.
These are some of the benefits of cloud computing, but
there are risks and concerns that a lawyer must take into
account when considering a move to the Cloud.

Participate in the first ever Sole Practitioner/Small Firm
Section webinar and you will:
• Get real-world lessons learned from your colleagues who
are already in the cloud
• See where the gray areas are in terms of security and
confidentiality and what your professional and legal
obligations are
• Learn about legal-specific cloud computing options
• Hear about the typical pricing structures
• Know what to do if your cloud crashes
