Corporate law firm representing Fortune 500 companies, 180 attorneys

Key Assets At Risk:

• Corporate merger intelligence
• Legal strategy confidentiality
• Professional ethics

Business Pressure

Trial begins Monday - any leak of legal strategy or client communications violates attorney-client privilege and threatens case outcome

Cultural Factors

• Law firm attorneys clicked on sophisticated legal document attachments during high-profile case preparation and client communications
  
• Corporate adversaries have had complete remote surveillance of attorney workstations for weeks, monitoring privileged communications and stealing legal strategies
  
• Stolen legal intelligence and privileged client information may have been used to compromise case strategy and violate attorney-client confidentiality
