Law firms in particular need to be mindful of the susceptibility of their client and intellectual information to damage by extraordinary circumstances. When a firm creates a business continuity plan (a.k.a., a contingency or disaster plan), it removes the “unexpected” component from most crises and gives the firm the best chance for survival.
Although technology is not the only issue addressed by a plan, the increasing reliance on technology for communications and data storage by law firms makes it an essential element. A well-thought out and tested disaster plan should be one of the tools that the law firm has in place, like a good data backup procedure, to ensure their ability to deliver legal services.
