Lateral movement is a constant in the legal industry, with lawyers often transitioning with their clients—and their data. This session explores the operational, compliance, and reputational risks law firms face during these transitions and how to manage them effectively.
We’ll look at the challenges of identifying, classifying, and transferring client and matter-related information across platforms like Office 365, iManage, NetDocuments, and physical records. A key focus will be on avoiding the inadvertent transfer of firm-sensitive documents such as internal memos, engagement letters, and competitive bidding content.
We’ll also cover the onboarding side: ensuring new lawyers can begin billing quickly by securely and efficiently receiving only the necessary and cleared client data—while maintaining clear boundaries about what the receiving firm should and should not ingest.
Attendees will see how the iCompli information governance platform supports firms in managing these challenges—from automating classification and approvals, to flagging sensitive content, to enabling secure, policy-driven transfers of data. The session will include practical demonstrations and guidance on how iCompli helps firms reduce risk, improve onboarding efficiency, and maintain compliance throughout the entire matter mobility lifecycle.
