Law firms hold privileged, confidential, and often highly sensitive client information, which makes them a favored target for cybercriminals. A breach does not just cost money; it can compromise client confidentiality and a firm's professional standing.
Firms handle wire transfers for settlements and real estate closings, which attackers try to hijack through business email compromise. They store discovery materials and case files that are attractive to steal or hold for ransom. And they carry ethical duties to protect client information that raise the stakes of any exposure.
A policy typically pays for forensic investigation, data restoration, client notification, and legal defense if clients bring claims. Many policies also cover funds diverted by fraud, which is one of the most common and expensive incidents firms face.
Solo practitioners and small firms are frequently hit because attackers assume their defenses are lighter. The good news is that coverage scaled to a small practice is typically affordable.
