Model Rule 1.6 and Professional Responsibility.
ABA Model Rule 1.6 and the equivalent state rules in Texas and Tennessee impose an affirmative duty on attorneys to make reasonable efforts to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of client information. What constitutes reasonable effort is increasingly defined by reference to commonly accepted technical controls: MFA, encryption, access controls, logging, and a documented incident response program. Our service delivery implements those controls and documents them in a form suitable for outside counsel opinions or malpractice carrier reviews.
