Developing an Effective Business Continuity Plan for Law Firms

Dear Colleague,

Business continuity planning is not about instilling fear into hearts and minds of your law firm’s executive board or assigning money to defend against unlikely probabilities. It is however about taking a realistic assessment of the cost of downtime to your business.

As technology and strategies become more sophisticated and less costly, true availability and recovery has become more feasible for all law firms. Recent focus shifts have centered on customer service issues surrounding BCP/DR with clients becoming more involved and interested in what firms are doing to ensure the integrity and availability of their data. In addition, insurance organizations have begun to provide frameworks for evaluating a firm’s preparedness which gives clients the ability to measure and evaluate capabilities in a meaningful way.

Ark Group/Managing Partner Magazine’s forum on Developing an Effective Business Continuity Plan for Law Firms will provide attendees with a highly-interactive and focused agenda illuminating the key issues that law firms must address to ensure that the business can survive both minor glitches and major incidents.

This forum is an ideal opportunity to learn from, benchmark and network with your industry peers!

Outlining strategies and case studies of successful and compelling efforts to implement actionable BCP/DR plans and true availability, Developing an Effective Business Continuity Plan for Law Firms will afford attendees with a unique opportunity to evaluate and discuss various stages of the implementation process—along with its inherent challenges—and how law firms today have continued to move their processes forward.

We look forward to seeing you at this timely and exciting forum!

Regards,
