Here are five common crises faced by small firm lawyers, and how to prevent them:
1. Loss of data due to poor data backups: Do not sleep soundly until you know for certain that you have good backups. You must do daily backups, and actually review logs and test restores to be sure there is actually data on the media. Keep copies of valuable data offsite. Make sure that any new applications or folders that contain data are included in the backup. Do a secondary backup (for when the first one fails). Staff compliance is the key — don’t trust this to your lowest-ranking staffer. It should be assigned to you, your office manager, or someone you know will do it right every day.
