Dialawg protects electronic communication | "Need to Keep Email from the Wrong Hands" - ABA Journal

...while email, text messaging and cellphones offer speed, efficiency and convenience that are hard to resist, they can have downsides. One is the fact that electronic communications never really go out of existence. And as two recent ABA ethics opinions point out, that can raise important confidentiality issues for lawyers when they communicate with clients.

Another article on the 11-459 opinion issued by the ABA commenting on the risks of using email for client communication. This is an issue Dialawg takes head on.

Our service allows you to maintain the speed, efficiency, and convenience offered by digital communication, while not exposing your data to the kinds of risks presented by unencrypted email. Not only that, but we provide verification features such as PDF audit reports letting you know exactly who said what and when for all of your conversations.

Dialawg protects your electronic communication | "Online Service Risks Need Care and Coverage" - ABA Journal

Lawyers whose security measures prove inadequate for protecting client confidences are vulnerable to malpractice lawsuits. Liability depends on whether a lawyer has reasonable practices in place to protect against a breach of client confidences.
