Has your website been spoofed? Is someone sending emails that appear to come from your firm? Unfortunately, several BC law firms have recently faced these kinds of cyber incidents. If this happens to you, contact Coalition immediately. Your cyber insurance policy includes coverage for technical, legal and public relations assistance under the “Phishing” insuring agreement.
Coalition can assist in taking down the fraudulent website, limit any potential exposure of confidential information, verify that your network security has not been breached and assist with communication to clients. Unfortunately, one of the firms that experienced spoofing had allowed its Coalition coverage to lapse and had to manage the situation on its own — a costly reminder of the value of this protection.
How can you check if your firm has coverage under the Coalition policy?
Your firm’s Designated Representative can check whether your firm has Coalition coverage by viewing the Certificate of Insurance in the Law Society Member Portal:
If no certificate appears, your firm does not have Coalition coverage. Don’t wait until an incident happens — check your coverage today.
