The Clallam County Bar Association will be co-hosting a Zoom CLE training for the legal community on protecting client funds. The program is titled “A few simple things you can do today to avoid a security incident.” Currently, multiple financial industries are experiencing high volumes of fraud. Recently, a lawyer practicing in Clallam County had their email account hacked and their client was robbed a great deal of money by following apparent instructions from the lawyer. This training will help our community shore up local at tacks.
The CLE is on September 29, 2023, from noon-1:00 p.m.
