Besides, the ABA and approximately 20 states have already addressed the topic and allow lawyers to store client confidential information in the cloud as long as they take reasonable precautions to protect the information. That’s the same standard imposed on lawyers for protecting information on their mobile devices (passcode) and laptops (passwords & encryption).
