With that freedom comes the reality that our most valuable and confidential information and documented knowledge is no longer safely ensconced behind those walls, no longer limited to venturing out only by letter, briefcase, or fax. In the interests of productivity, we can now take whatever information we need to any beach, conference, courthouse, or client site we damn well please.

However, that freedom has a cost. Not the cost of the technology, but the cost of lost, stolen, intercepted, or misplaced information. A breach of confidentiality — however accidental — is a very serious matter. That breach can lead to malpractice or disciplinary charges — costly in dollars and reputation and even license to practice law.
