What is counterintelligence prevention?
In the era of globalization and digitalization, lawyers face new challenges related to protecting their clients’ confidential information. Both personal data and strategic commercial or legal information that lawyers have at their disposal are becoming the subject of interest not only of competitors, but also of entities conducting intelligence activities. Counterintelligence prevention, understood as a set of activities aimed at protecting against unauthorized access to information, is therefore becoming an important element of professional practice. These activities are not only intended to protect against potential threats, but also fit into the ethical obligations related to attorney-client privilege and the protection of personal data under national and international law.
Our lawyers took part in a webinar on digital replicas (i.e., computerized copies of people or objects), organized by ITECH LAW association. During the webinar the panelists provided cross-border insight on this ecosystem as it relates to: (i) helping clients to protect their personality, image and likeness by managing authorized digital replicas and addressing unauthorized digital replicas (or deepfakes) during their lifetime; (ii) helping clients with estates that include digital replicas or that include wishes about digital memorialization; and (iii) the frauds and scams involving digital replicas targeting lawyers, firms and clients.
